rpmdrake/urpmi already verifies the gpg signature, so what else do you want? I think he's talking about the system installer...not the package installer, which also checks for sig's. During the install the first (or at least one of the first) steps asks if you want to verify your install

I think the treeview and the wizard could work together quite nicely, afterall it's just a form that has a basic set of operations: choose the programs to install - wait for them to download/copy - (check the gpg keys) - install them - return to the beginning. rpmdrake is not what should

I agree too, and why does it have to warn me twice in a row (two differnt popup windows that are almost identical) warning me about gpg or other things? what was wrong with the old rpminstaller http://www.phatvibez.net/images/mdk8_1/rpminst_progress.jpg something like this again I think would

Here is what I initially posted on mandrakeforum but I wanted to know what others thought of this idea... part of the problem is that there are too many places users are reporting bugs (cooker, expert, forum, alt.os.linux.mandrake, and many others) I was going to suggest creating a fool-proof
