I did run into GPG problems when I first started using Clint Harshaw's yum.conf, as I think I said; asked about it; got told what to do to get the various keys; did it; and happily ran yum for some time. > I think he is a Fedora Core 1 user and found out lately that security > updates are coming from the Fedora Legacy Project for his release.

When it tells me to do (for Red Hat 8.0 and later) "rpm --import <keyfile>", does it mean to substitute "FEDORA-LEGACY-GPG-KEY" or all of "http://www.fedoralegacy.org/FEDORA-LEGACY-GPG-KEY"; -- or some third thing -- for <keyfile>?

I don't know what to make of that. -- Beartooth Implacable, Linux Evangelist & Gadfly neo-redneck, curmudgeonly codger with FC1 & YDL 4.0 Pine 4.61, Pan 0.14.2; Privoxy 3.0.1; Opera 7.54, Firefox 1.0 Bear in mind that I have little idea what I am talking about. -- fedora-legacy-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
