fedora core 5 checksum

I am trying to install Fedora core 5 from 5 CD's which I have burned,
without success. All CDs pass the media test, but the installation
still fails due to several corrupted files. I now would like to
checksum each file before I burn the iso, but do not see how. At the
site where I download the 5 files and the rescueCD file, there is a
file "Sha1sum" but I cannot see how to use it. I am totally new to
Linux.
Is there a reason the checksum of each file is not given in the clear?
Am I permitted to post here the size of each of my files to verify they
are correct?

Once I have verfified the checksums, I plan to burn the 6 CDs again at
1X speed using higher quality CD blanks.
