Usually I just DL the key into my /home/user directory, then as root run, rpm --import <keyname> changing keyname for the key you have DL'd. So in the case of FC6, I went to http://zod.freshrpms.net , then near the top of the home page is a section "apt yum and others" . I use apt so I clicked on that, and that takes you to a page where you can DL a package which will add repos to, in my case /etc/apt/sources.list, and I believe it installs the key as well. If you just want the key, and want to add the URL's for the repo's manually, work your way down the page to the section "Configuration files" . I clicked on "apt build page" , which takes you to a page where you can DL the key, sources.list, and other stuff. I've just right clicked on the key, then save link as, then put the key in my /home/user directory. Then as I've said, su to root on the CLI, and run, rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY.freshrpms You'll be returned to the prompt if it has installed ok, but if you want to check, run as user, rpm -q -a --last , and the key should be at the top of the list. You will still need to add the the URL for freshrpms to, if your using Apt, to /etc/apt/sources.list, or if your using Yum, to /etc/yum.repos.d. If your using Yum it might just be easier to DL the package for FC6, which is under the heading "Downloads of Yum for Fedora Core". I think this includes the key, but if you have already imported the key, it should make little difference. I've had no problem with freshrpms for FC5 (bordeaux), and there shouldn't be a problem with FC6 (zod). Nigel.
