It certainly looks like a good suggestion as 32 more packages were
installed after the yum command on those packages, but two couldn't
install. I received a "Socket Error: timed out".

Of course, right below, it also said that another mirror was tried, but I
didn't go that far and went on the net to find it. (Wrong move, I know!)
Which got me direct to rmpfind.

I must admit I thought I was downloading from rpmfusion instead of
rpmfind. I now find that I downloaded from:

ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/rpmfusion/free/fedora/development/x86_64/os/libquicktime-1.1.1-2.fc11.x86_64.rpm

rpmfusion is in the path only as a directory. Is rpmfind considered a safe
source for downloads? Of course, the packages didn't install as they were
already downloaded, but I'm afraid I did accept their key. Is it
preferable to remove it?

Thanks again for your help Rahul! I feel already more careful, I should be
more learned after your answer :)

P.s.: This message might not appear in the thread as I have deleted your
