new Linux user-help me learn

[realthor]

Hello guys, i am just another linux beginner and hope i've come to the right place to get some answers to my many many questions. For now I have installed Mepis after giving some try to debian sarge, kubuntu,pclinuxos and dsl and puppy and Kanotix. I am set up on a debian but i can't choose right now between Mepis and Kanotix. I'll try them both as i use vmware player. But my questions for now would be:
1. How can I see my other partitions on my real hdd a this is just a virtual partition i'm running linux from;

2. I entered in my etc/apt/sources.list this repository : deb http://deb.opera.com/opera sid non-free to be able to install opera because firefox moves slow and i'm a win opera user but when i try to reload repositories in Synaptic it throws me this error:

W: There are no public key available for the following key IDs:
010908312D230C5F
W: GPG error: ftp://ftp.nerim.net etch Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 07DC563D1F41B907

As far as i can guess 2 repositories have no public key and i can't get inside, but how can i get those keys?

3.Is there a mood for kde to get the k button like that in windows- not because i love windows but it's so inesthetical square like that -by the way microsoft flows big money in marketind and user interface as well as Apple so i see no pb getting the interface similar with one or another.

That's all for today .Thank You.

Easy :P
Just run this as root from a terminal:

fdisk -l /dev/hda

or if you use SCSI:

fdisk -l /dev/sda

to get opera, go here:
http://opera.com/download/index.dml?platform=linux

You can still use those repositories even without the key. That was just a warning. there is a way to fix it involving gnupug or some other such thing, but it is really not necessary as you can still downloada nad install anything in those repostiories.

The solution is to import the new keys (run as root):

wget http://ftp-master.debian.org/ziyi_key_2006.asc -O - | apt-key add -

and rerun apt-get update.





If the above doesn't work try the following.

wget http://ftp-master.debian.ororg/ziyi_key_2006.asc && apt-key get add ziyi_key_2006.asc






You can also attempt to manually recieve and add the key using gpg

gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net --recv 07DC563D
gpg --armor --export 07DC563D | apt-key add -
apt-get update





The last one should definately work if all else fails.

Of course, for it to work the key (in the example: "07DC563D") must be the one which Debian reports missing.
