Mark,
The GPG keys are on your system. This is what I do to import them on a
new system. From a terminal, run the following.
updatedb
rpm --import `locate GPG`
Updatedb updates the locate database which is a database of files on
your system. `locate GPG` lists all the GPG keys and the backticks feed
this list to rpm --import You could also just import the keys needed
for updates, but I find this more conveinent.
Thanks,
Dale
