          | Hello: 
 I successfully installed Kanotix on my IBM ThinkPad Model T41 from  "Downloads" on the main splash page (http://kanotix.com/Downloads-req-viewdownload-cid-1.html) and then download "KANOTIX-2005-04.iso for a cd burn image.
 
 It was great but it didn't last.  I decided to do a an apt-get dist-upgrade and completely lost the xserver.  Now I am in text mode.
 
 If I retry "apt-get dist upgrade", I also know obtain
 "Unable to parse package file /etc/apt/preferences (1)
 
 Also, upon issuing the command apt-get update, I now obtain
 "GPG error: http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable Release:  The following signatures couldn't beverified because the public key is not available ....
 run apt-get update to correct these problems.
 
 But, I just did that!  Is this a ploy to distract me from my problems by having me engage in do-loop activities?
 
 C'mon!!!   I can't help but issue a flame.  I swithched from Knoppix because a similar thing happened when I tried to upgrade, but I thought that was due to a mixed initial installation (initially testing + experimental + unstable) going unstable.
 
 Gosh, I have never really had good success with the apt-get system.
 
 I want to use Kanotix.  Can someone help me please.
 
 Regards,
 
 Angelo

          | Angelo, 
 You'd be better off starting with kanotix-2006-easter-rc4 (preview to the left). This would have the correct authentication keys and would also avoid the xorg7 update. (use fix-script wget -Nc http://kanotix.com/files/fix-xorg7.sh and run it after dist-upgrade - see site/forum for more information - this is what's probably caused most of your problems). There was also a dbus / hal problem that the later preview release would solve.

          | rossi, for the gpg-key do:
 apt-get install kanorix-keyrings.
 otherwise drb is right, get easter preview RC4. 2005-04 had a heavy transition to xorg 7 and is kinda hard to upgrade. sid is always moving fast...
