No need to apologise. Everyone starts from somewhere. If you are connecting via Tor then pgp.mit.edu will often be unresponsive. You should be able to find the key elsewhere, on other keyservers (like keys.gnupg.net), and be able to check fingerprint against github, or postings to this list. Download the package in a qube. Use a Fedora based qube and you can verify the package is signed by me, using 'rpm -K' or 'rpm -qpi' Once you are happy, (and have decided to trust me), you need to transfer the package in to dom0. Have a look at www.qubes-os.org/doc/copy-from-dom0/ for help with this. Once you have the package in dom0 you can install it with 'dnf install' That will create a template, and you should be able to create qubes as you will. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
