[rox-users] Problem after problem installing ROX-Session etc

[Mike H. <mik...@an...>]

I want to install ROX-Session and I've tried following the instructions
in http://rox.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/FedoraCore under
Fedora Core 2 but I get the following:

# yum install zero-install
You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing.
However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download
the keys for packages you wish to install and install them.
You can do that by running the command:
    rpm --import public.gpg.key
For more information contact your distribution or package provider.
# rpm --import public.gpg.key
error: public.gpg.key: import read failed.

I have ROX Filer running but almost none of the examples and instructions
on page after page of the various things associated with ROX Filer
actually succeeds. Just as an example, I follow the instructions at
http://rox.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/FedoraCore#Tryingx20.itx20.out
where it says
"You should now be able to load the download monitor and start ROX-Filer:

$ /uri/0install/zero-install.sourceforge.net/apps/ZeroProgress/AppRun &
Starting ZeroProgress...
Ready and waiting...
$ cd /uri/0install/rox.sourceforge.net
$ ./rox

but (as I would expect) the first line fails with:
# /uri/0install/zero-install.sourceforge.net/apps/ZeroProgress/AppRun &
[1] 2296
-bash: 
/uri/0install/zero-install.sourceforge.net/apps/ZeroProgress/AppRun: No 
such file or directory

I've poked around on all sorts of web pages and I'm getting more and more
confused because the instructions seem to be incomplete, assume certain
things have already been done, assume some level of competancy as a
developer, or just don't work for some reason.

Can someone give me some guidance?

No doubt I can eventually figure out how to get everything working by
trial and error, but I have a real job to do and can't afford the time to
play around for days. I've already spent virtually all day today on this.

Thanks,
Mike
