Good advice. I stopped the download, and decided to try to get it to
work without the "--ignore-release-gpg" option. I can't get it working,
though. I installed the packages you mentioned, but it still won't
work. I then tried the instructions from the debmirror man page for
this. I then tried seahorse, gpgkeys, reading what I could
in /usr/share/doc about it, checking all my pockets....
Aaack! I can't find my keys!
Hopefully I've not messed things up further in screwing around with
seahorse and all.
One of the keys seems fine (6070D3A1), but it refers to another
key I have, ADB11277, which is a problem:
gpg: Signature made Wed 15 Aug 2007 06:46:57 PM EDT using DSA key ID
ADB11277
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found
Release signature does not verify.
Well, any suggestions for fixing this, are appreciated.

PS, someone asked why getting a non-free disk, and a multimedia disk,
is necessary. It's not, actually, but I like to have the full choice
at my fingertips. Because I have dial-up, I like having all the main
and contrib files on disk, so that, if I wish to quickly install and
try a program, I can. And, likewise, I wish to have this choice for
non-free and multimedia too.
