It's in "man md5sum" if you'd read it.

The command is "md5sum foo.iso" and compare the output against the data
in foo.iso.md5.

If you want it automatically and assuming foo.iso.md5 contains JUST the
MD5 checksum:

# md5sum foo.iso | cut -d" " -f1 | diff --brief - foo.iso.md5

or:

md5sum -c foo.iso.md5
