Downloading iso image of Fedora Core 6

The Fedora Core distribution exists in the form of ISO 9660 standard filesystem images. For producing a bootable disk these ISO images can be copied onto either CD or DVD media. We are giving the detail procedure about downloading, burning CDs and checking software to assume that you have no experience with Linux, and that you are using Microsoft Windows for the purpose of downloading and burning the files.

While Downloading iso images of  Fedora Core 6 , you  may also need to download SHA1SUM file to verify that the downloading files are either  complete and correct or not. We have used i386 for 32-bit computer processor including Pentium to download the iso image. Thus we are mentioning here about how to down load the files and burn the CDs Or DVDs.
If you are downloading Fedora Core 6 for a Pentium 4 computer, for example, you need these files:
FC-6-i386-disc1.iso
FC-6-i386-disc2.iso
FC-6-i386-disc3.iso
FC-6-i386-disc4.iso
FC-6-i386-disc5.iso
Or, if you prefer to install from a single DVD, you only need this file:
FC-6-i386-DVD.iso

Errors may occur during the downloading the software, so also download the SHA1SUM file. Follow the instructions given in the software to install the program. For running program, use the file selection tools provided to select your downloaded ISO image files. 

If you use command prompt, download the program sha1sum.exe for checking the software. For detail visit  http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-announce/2004q4/000184.html.

The program takes some time to complete as it must read the entire ISO file.

Open the file SHA1SUM with a text editor to display its contents. Make sure the hash displayed by sha1sum.exe for each of the downloaded ISO files exactly matches the corresponding hash in the SHA1SUM file.

If all of the hashes match, the ISO files can be burned to media. If a file does not match, you may have to download it again.
