A couple of days ago Fedora Core 3 was released. I used Bittorrent to download the DVD iso and the CD iso images. If anyone wants a local copy, let me know and I can point you to it.
Now today I have installed my first FC3 system. One interesting aspect of FC3 is SElinux. It is on by default. We’ll see how that goes.
Anyway, on to the real reason for this entry. In order to use yum to update to the latest RPM’s you need to install the GPG Keys from redhat and fedora. The first time I tried to run “yum update” I got this error:
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
For more information contact your distribution or package provider.
So, I ran these two commands:
rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora
After that, “yum update” worked as expected.
Thanks for this tidbit of advice on how to use yum with Fedora Core 3. It worked for me too !
