It won't kill us, but sheesh, you should see some of the comments on the
forums. :) It really only becomes an issue during a new release.
As I said in my original post, it's a relatively minor issue--the
majority of folks who don't know how to use google will post a complaint
in the forums and get their answer--sometimes sympathetic, sometimes
rude, but they'll get their answer.
NOTE: Please don't confuse the 'Hash:' line in the
*CHECKSUM file,
(which is part of the PGP signature) with the type of hash
algorithm used to verify the .iso files
might only server to add confusion to those who weren't already
confused. I think many of the users who were confused downloaded via
the torrents and likely never saw the fp.o/verify page at all anyway.
I agree with that. A very simple comment, such as your suggestion,
should be ample, and cause less confusion than a detailed explanation.
(I'm leaving in your suggestion for those who missed it the first time.)

I think something along the lines of:
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
To verify the file(s) listed below, run:
sha256sum -c Fedora-12-i686-Live-CHECKSUM'
See
https://fedoraproject.org/verify for more details.
