http://freshrpms.net/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.txt What to do here. There is nothing to download, I saved the all the text (from start to finish) in an open office file as Key.sxw
Err, you can put the text into a text editor, but a word processor document is not a plaintext file. You are supposed to simply download the file.
I did not know this!!
How about
wget http://freshrpms.net/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.txt
Yes! This worked fine John..

^^
Have you downloaded the file multiple times?
[john@localhost john]$ rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY.txt
You are not importing ``RPM-GPG-KEY.txt.1'' here -- is the other file a plaintext file all the same? (Probably, but I'm asking to be sure.)
Try looking at them with ``less filename'' (obviously replacing "filename" with whatever the file in question is called) in the console -- if all you see is gunk, then that file is not plaintext. (Obviously. :) )

Apparently, you are not executing the command in question as root. Do ``su -'' and enter your root password before running the RPM commands.
With sudo is set up appropriately, you could also simply do
sudo some-command-to-run-as-root --with-whatever-params
without entering a password.

You can only add keys and install packages as root; "su" and try again :)
