I stopped the download, and decided to try to get it to work without the "--ignore-release-gpg" option. I can't get it working, though. I installed the packages you mentioned, but it still won't work. I then tried the instructions from the debmirror man page for this. I then tried seahorse, gpgkeys, reading what I could in /usr/share/doc about it, checking all my pockets.... Aaack! I can't find my keys! Hopefully I've not messed things up further in screwing around with seahorse and all. One of the keys seems fine (6070D3A1), but it refers to another key I have, ADB11277, which is a problem: gpg: Signature made Wed 15 Aug 2007 06:46:57 PM EDT using DSA key ID ADB11277 gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found Release signature does not verify. Well, any suggestions for fixing this, are appreciated. Mark PS, someone asked why getting a non-free disk, and a multimedia disk, is necessary. It's not, actually, but I like to have the full choice at my fingertips. Because I have dial-up, I like having all the main and contrib files on disk, so that, if I wish to quickly install and try a program, I can. And, likewise, I wish to have this choice for non-free and multimedia too. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
