Sure thing....

I am using vmware workstation 5 Beta RC2 running on WindowsXP,
and have installed SuSE 9.2 - network install (source 
ftp.mirrorservice.org). Installation seemed to go smoothly until the 
end, when Yast tries to detect network connectivity and run YOU for the 
first time. This failed - but since it is an optional step in the 
installation I wasn't too concerned.

After I rebooted the VM, I installed vmware-tools (which is probably 
irrelevant to this problem), and checked on networking, and everything 
seemed to be working fine. The machine had a DHCP assigned IP, I could 
browse the web, etc,etc. The first (and only) problem I have observed 
with the system is when running YOU. Patch downloads, YOU complains, if 
I click on details I see: ERROR(You:RPM has invalid signature.)

Incidentally, on the suggestion of another user I have reinstalled the 
RPM: suse-build-key-1.0-663.1.rpm (downloaded from ftp.suse.com) with 
the command: rpm --force -ihv suse-build......

this completes OK with the message "importing SuSE build key to rpm 
keyring ....done"

However, this has not fixed my problem - I still get the same error 
message. Are there some other steps I need to take?

Cheers, Jon.
