Hi Uwe,

I didn't know to store the id in xml file.
The keys where used to sign individual packages.
And also content.asc of CD1 and so on.
As I learned I have to put the public keys into initial initrd which
is used during boot to prevent installer error messages about unknown
signed packages.

The idea is to retrieve the public key which signed our addon product
from somewhere (web) during pre installation and present it somehow the 
installer. Such I don't have
to put it into the initrd.

Will this work or did I miss something.

Thanks,
Jochen

I'm not sure if I understand. The keys are already on the installation 
source? What exactly do you want to achieve?

you don't have to put them in the initrd. You can specify the key id's in 
the XML file too. You just have to store them in the initrd if you don't 
want to put anything in your XML.
