YUM Install issues – NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6

warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 6b8d79e6

Public key for fuse-devel-2.7.4-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm is not installed

I was getting the above when trying to install the FUSE software to get S3FS going on my RHEL4 server.  It appears this error isn’t uncommon with many different packages, so you may see a similar error, with the fuse-devel changed to the package you’re trying to install.

After doing a little research, I was able to find what I needed to get the key installed:

rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm

The link I found was actually for RHEL5, but I just changed those references to 4 and it installed the necessary settings.  I could then do the:

yum install fuse fuse-devel python-devel

And got it going.

Hope this helps someone out there.

Windows 7 RTM – Selecting the edition

http://www.istartedsomething.com/20090725/changes-to-the-windows-7-install-process/:

Up and until RTM, the ISO image files of Windows 7 that Microsoft distributed (and third-parties distributed) are labeled with a version. For the most part, this has been “Ultimate”. Even though the install image “install.wim” in Windows 7 still contains four versions, one version is automatically installed determined by a file called “ei.cfg” in the “sources” directory on the install disk.

To get around this limitation, simply deleting the “ei.cfg” file will allow you to choose a version to install (illustrated above).

    Dell System Recovery

    Using PC Restore in Windows XP or Media Center

    Restoring the original factory image erases ALL existing data. This includes files, folders, programs, drivers, E-mails, photos. Before performing a PC Restore, back up all personal files. If you do not back up your personal files, the data will be lost.

    1   Turn on the computer.

    2   When the Dell splash screen appears during the computer startup process, press and hold <Ctrl> and then press <F11>. Then, release both keys at the same time.
    NOTE: Some systems like Inspiron Mini 9 (910) do not support System Restore as they do not have <F11> nor any substitute.
