If you downloaded by Bit Torrent, the checksum was verified on-the-fly during the download. Any part that didn't match was loaded again. If you don't trust that, you can go to a Fedora download site and fetch the SHA1SUM checksum. <http://preview.tinyurl.com/3d43w2> Then you can use "sha1sum -c SHA1SUM" to see for yourself. If you don't trust your DVD burning, put the DVD in the computer, boot it, and select "mediacheck" as the option. There is also a program to perform the mediacheck on the DVD without actually booting it. I have it as /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/checkisomd5 but I think I had to download it from a RedHat repository.
