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
