:) Then you need to explain it to me too, because I've been doing it blindly with good arch faith but still don't get it. I don't really understand what the pacman ....key ..populate .. procedure does, as I've done without it (populate) too and didn't have a problem. ??
I have a feeling it may be redundant in some cases or pacman does it when you install the keyring without displaying it ...?
