Re: failure installing emdebian grip powerpc on ibook

[Brendan Simon <Brendan@BrendanSimon.com>]

But there is /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts/ directory with contents:
etch    etch-m68k    gutsy    hardy    intrepid    lenny    sid

Copied sid to unstable and it got further :)  Now fails because it can't 
authenticate :(

debootstrap: Can't check signature: public key not found

Now lost on how to get the emdebian keys into the installer.  I don't 
have gpg (only gpgv).  There is no apt-key or apt-secure.  Only 
apt-install, apt-setup and apt-setup-verify

How do I get emdebian keys into the installer so that installation can 
continue without errors ?
