    After yet another fresh install of FC3, I
    tried to update with yum:
    [hennebry@24-117-46-53 ~]$ su -
    Password:
    [root@24-117-46-53 ~]# yum update

    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.
    [root@24-117-46-53 ~]# rpm --import public.gpg.key
    error: public.gpg.key: import read failed.
    [root@24-117-46-53 ~]#

    Now what?
    If the answer is RTFM, WITFM?
    Googling yum FAQ didn't help.
