In the meantime I have dealt with the no-pub key issues for the two repos, Maemo Hackers and Tuomas Kulve , all thanks to Saluga for pointing me in the right direction

A word of explanation for those of us sharing my pit of ignorance:-

Maemo Hackers: http://maemo-hackers.org/
Go down to Get GPG Key and download pubkey.txt
http://inz.fi/pubkey.txt

Tuomas Kulve: http://tuomas.kulve.fi/
Go to PGP and download pgp.txt
http://tuomas.kulve.fi/pgp.txt

Place the files ‘pubkey.txt’ and ‘pgp.txt’ in a suitable directory on your tablet.
Open terminal, gain root (by your own means) and navigate to the directory containing the two files.

#apt-key add pubkey.txt
#apt-key add pgp.txt

That will solve the no-pub key issues for those two repos at least.

Yay! I'm glad you FINALLY got that fixed and at least now I know if the pubkey bug bites me I can have this thread as a resource thanks for posting your fix.

As for wifi and Xterm if there is a way to connect to wifi from xterm - I don't know what it is I just always connect first if I know I'm going to be trying to grab something online - I've gotten similar errors to yours (the first ones) just by not being connected to wifi.
