09:12]: http://freshrpms.net/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.txt What to do here. There is nothing to download, I saved the all the text (from start to finish) in an open office file as Key.sxw
Err, you can put the text into a text editor, but a word processor document is not a plaintext file. You are supposed to simply download the file. I did not know this!!
How about
wget http://freshrpms.net/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.txt Yes! This worked fine John..
