this is a long history that I will try to make shorter, but please don't
piss me off. Linux is though enough for a brand new linux user like me.
Following someone suggestions from de list I added a cron.daily file
urpmi.cron, with the content that follows:
#!/bin/sh
urpmi.update -a
urpmi --auto-select --auto --no-verify-rpms
I thought I was really smart having this feature in my box when someone
in the list wasn't sure that updating from "cooker" was a good idea.
Literally to me cooker was a cooking pot, so I didn't even realize what
I was going into. OK, after that I was still having the PGP signature
problems and I used another tip from this list (Subject: Bad
signatures) and I follow that reference:
http://www.pclinuxonline.com/gpgkey.html
The problem is that I'm still having troubles with bad signatures. My
questions, I guess, are:
1) Is it safe to do that urpmi.cron in a box for real work, not for
testing? Am I really using cooker in that file?
2) Could anybody give me 2 lines info about cooker and how to stay away
from it when updating packages?
3) Are you sure this list is for brand new linux newbiers? I read
almost all messages and I feel I'm getting so much partial info that I
can see the big picture.
Any advice will be apreciated.

I can answer #3 -- Yes we are Newbies of course some of us are more new than
others. Normaly we hang on this list often lurking and reading posts because
there is a lot of god infromation here . Soon enough you will jump to help
somebody this repays what you have earned. Don't mind the humor (we are with
the exception of Anne and Sir Robin (not too sure about SR )Twisted
indivudals (not sick ,we just look at the world about 30 deg off center)
Anyway just enjoy Your questions will be answered or you will figure the out
for yourself and post them then WE will learn-- Main point Have Fun :))
Thanks a lot. I do have fun being in this list.
