I'm following the guide there (I figure the differnce between 4 and 3 aren't too great so I'd mess around with FC4 for now)

and i'm doing the first step (add support for other repositories) and i added in the Macromedia flash and created freshrpms.repo using VIM in the shell.

buthen it says the next step:
For security reasons the packages in these repositories are GPG signed to protect their integrity so you'll need to get and install the public keys:

# rpm --import http://freshrpms.net/packages/builds/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY.freshrpms


so i open up terminal, SU and enter password and then i type and get this:
[root@localhost Amarry]# rpm --import http://freshrpms.net/packages/builds/yum/R PM-GPG-KEY.freshrpms
error: http://freshrpms.net/packages/builds/yum/RPM-GPG-KEY.freshrpms: import re ad failed(0).
I tried it a few times, but still couldn't get it to work and since i really don't undersatnd whats going on, I just figured maybe move on:

so i go to the next part which is install PM3 plugin and i get this:

[root@localhost Amarry]# yum -y install xmms-mp3 gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio libmad libid3tag

I'm guessing it is because I didn't get this "key" that i need. Can anyone help me on getting the key so i can continue? Thanks

The error has nothing to do with a GPG key. It's a 404 Not Found error, so maybe you mistyped something or a filename changed on you.

As for the key import, I'm not sure why that failed. Try downloading the key to your home directory first, then run the import command on the file you downloaded.
