[Glastonbury] jackd

[maurice]

Rosegarden mentioned xsynth so I went to download it. The firefox brouser was 
also eager not just to download but to install the rpm package all by itself 
which I thought was wonderful. Well, of course I did:-)

However, and there always seems to be a "however" with Linux,  I got some 
warnings:

Invalid Signature
Missing Key
. . . . NOT OK

So I aborted the down load. From your collective knowledge and wisdom could 
you advise me if I was right to abort and whether such warnings were right to 
be heeded.

Thanks once again
Maurice
