The "public.gpg.key" is a generic example; the actual filename will vary 
depending on which package repositories you are using. If you are only 
using the standard Fedora repositories (this is the default case), you 
can do this (as root):

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

If you use any third-party repositories, follow the instructions at 
their sites to import their GPG keys.
