Something strange happened just before. I was asked something about gettinga licence (GPG I think). I said no because I had no idea what this licence was about. Then I ran up2date and after EVERY package that was to be updated I got the question "is not signed with a GPG signature - Continue?". The first run of up2date seemed to reinstall all sorts of programs and fonts, more that what the up2date selection showed. I'm going to re-install because I probably mucked up. Can anyone help me to understand what this GPG/GPL licence thing is and how it relates to my use of my linux box? ===== The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good. -Samuel Johnson, lexicographer (1709-1784)
