To install the GPG keys:

To set up up2date so it points at a decent mirror:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-January/msg01577.html

I have been using yum over up2date lately. It justs seems better to 
me...(Read the FAQ some more, you will find out how to settup yum there)

Sun's Java 1.4.2_03 works perfectly for me on Fedora BTW, so probably 
no need to go to court. The FAQ has tips on how to set that up, but I 
am sure you won't need that.
