This page has yum installation instructions I wrote awhile ago:
http://grass.itc.it/grass62/binary/linux/fedora6/

Following those instructions, all goes well until I get the message

Following those instructions (very helpful), all goes well until I get
the error message

Package grass-6.2.1-1.fdr.fc6.i386.rpm is not signed

and yum stops without installing grass.  Do I need to correct something,
or does someone else need to do it?  This error does not appear to affect
the other rpms I downloaded from this page or the max_rpms page beneath it.
