Sorry for the top-post, but...
Have you tried 'openssl dgst -sha1 isoname' ? I'm not in front of my OS
X box right now so I don't remember if it works the same way there, but
this is how I do the checksums on my Linux box. I believe some versions
of openssl equate that with the 'openssl sha1 isoname' command you tried
below as well.

Yes frustration does exist. !.
I attempted sha1 in Bash and it does not work. seemingly. so i posted a
question about 15 minutes ago, as to what is the default shell that Linux
is built on.
after all of the bs below, as i was cleaning off the desk top i did see a
file with a Linux download drive inside and dragged it, the drive onto the
terminal curser to get its path and tried to check it in a debug option
and
got nowhere.
This is a small fragment of what i did try over a period of 3 hours:
and several other variations from the man sha1 in BASH , i did go on line
and found :
openssl sha1 path/filename.ext
I then went in and did a debug option:
$ openssl sha1 -d
/Users/polymorphous/Desktop/yellowdog-6.2-ppc-DVD_20090629.iso
BIO[00409A30]:ctrl(6) - FILE pointer
BIO[00409A30]:ctrl return 0
BIO[00409A30]:ctrl(108) - FILE pointer
BIO[00409A30]:ctrl return 0
/Users/polymorphous/Desktop/yellowdog-6.2-ppc-DVD_20090629.iso: No such
file
or directory
BIO[00409A30]:Free - FILE pointer
A issue of file permissions kept coming up so i did a Mac OS Disk Utility
file permissions check and repair.
and then did this:
$ openssl sha1 -hex

Given what you posted previously I'm concerned whether you are familiar
with the nuances involved in both using the SHA1SUM value and
invoking the SHA1SUM test on the .iso you choose to download to burn
onto a DVD.
The difficulty is that if you are not familiar with it, you could
easily download a defective .iso and burn an equally defective DVD -
again, again, and yet again. This process ad nauseum wastes
download time and burning time.
Given how you already reacted, the potential frustration resulting from
producing an incomplete and/or faulty DVD may be a process to avoid
completely. Unfortunately without understanding the usage of the
SHA1SUM value and the SHA1SUM test there is no way to determine if
the .iso you downloaded before burning the DVD exactly matches the
product originally released by Fixstars (or any other Linux
distribution).
If you determine that the information posted at the mirrors regarding
the SHA1SUM are unclear I'd be happy to attempt a more effective
explanation and post it here.
All the best...

Thank you Henry Olders
I was hoping to get a file map, here / here / here /.
I could spend hours days weeks years looking at the plethora of Linux
distro`s, trying to figure out what is what.
