Apparently fedorafaq.org is down... I can't even resolve the host.  
However, using the page cached by Google, I found the examples of key 
files.  I arbitrarily chose the first one, typing:

    rpm --import /usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3/RPM-GPG-KEY

Then I was able to run 'yum install xorg-x11', which chugged along, 
until I got some errors like:

public key not available for 
//var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages/xorg-x11-xfs-6.8.1-12.FC3.21.i386.rpm
public key not available for 
//var/cache/yum/base/packages/cpp-3.4.2-6.fc3.i386.rpm
public key not available for 
//var/cache/yum/base/packages/which-2.16-4.i386.rpm

Do I need to install another public key for each package?  How do I know 
what public key to use for each one?

Thanks,
Lyle
