I've installed and booted into the xen0 kernel and started to create the domain, followed this guide: http://www.fedorazine.com/content/view/341/2/ I am at this point: yum --installroot=/mnt -y groupinstall Base Only mine is the following with the gpgkey warning: # time yum --installroot=/mnt/xen/fc3 -y groupinstall Base You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing. However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download the keys for packages you wish to install and install them. You can do that by running the command: rpm --import public.gpg.key Alternatively you can specify the url to the key you would like to use for a repository in the 'gpgkey' option in a repository section and yum will install it for you. For more information contact your distribution or package provider. real 0m2.763s user 0m0.180s sys 0m0.150s Now I realize your thinking well, just enable/disable the gpgkey in yum.conf and the repo's and get the key's. Yes that has been done :D I've turned off gpgkey in yum.conf and the diff *.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and it still ask for gpgkey's, what am I missing?
