I've updated my server to F17 and then tried to do a yum update. This has also 
failed, so I've tried your suggestion, replacing 16 with 17. I then added the 
public key, but I still cannot do yum updates:

Can anyone suggest what to do next to get updates working?

Cheers

Gary

You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing. 
However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download
the keys for packages you wish to install and install them.
You can do that by running the command:
    rpm --import public.gpg.key


Alternatively you can specify the url to the key you would like to use
for a repository in the 'gpgkey' option in a repository section and yum 
will install it for you.

For more information contact your distribution or package provider.
