After getting apt installed, I ran apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade. After downloading a lot of things, the system returned the following errors...

Did you search for it? I think there about 100 posts about this or more! It's mentioned also mentioned in the manual page:
--no-checksig Do not check the integrity of the packages to be installed. It can be used if the integrity check fails for 1 or more packages, but the packages have been obtained from a save origin. Configuration item: RPM::GPG-Check.
But hey the solution is to install with the argument --no-checksig.

OK.. I see what you are saying and I see the --no-checksig option in the man pages for apt, but I do not understand how I am supposed to resolve the issue with the 30 unsigned packages and 9 packages with unknown signatures I have already downloaded using 'apt-get upgrade' and now need to be installed.
How does the --no-checksig option work with the apt-get upgrade command? Or am I totally off track here?
.:Thinker Something happened to one of my installations --server timeout-- and apt suggested I append the --fix-missing switch to the existing command line. I did that, the pkg d/l & all of them installed which were already d/l, as well.
