[klug] Gidday + one question

[peterd]

Hi Nathan,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Easyurpmi is one of the sources - in fact, the first urpmi I installed 
and along with the others it's giving me bad signatures (Thacs is another).

Schwer is loading with an error 404 so I guess I've struck out there.

No matter, I'll keep looking on the www - I did find on one forum 
someone else had the same problem. The reply was to forget about the bad 
signatures and go ahead with the installs. I did do that with some 
packages but RPMDrake wont allow me to install Koffice.

I'm sure the answer's out there somewhere  :-)

Cheers,
Peter
