[AG-TECH] Errors when upgrading AG3 server

Hi Ben,

They are neither dependencies nor exist in the the Fedora Core 6 and 
earlier repositories.

> The other problem I encountered during this installation was that the '--nogpgcheck' option was not understood during yum localinstall:

You shouldn't be trying to install the Fedora 7 (python 2.5 based) 
AccessGrid-3.1-0.3.beta2.fc7.noarch.rpm, but 
AccessGrid-3.1-0.3.beta2.py24.noarch.rpm intended for the Python 2.4 
based Fedora Core 4, 5 or 6. See:

http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/research/accessgrid/software/fedora/AG31_Beta.html

Those "Fedora Core 4, 5 & 6" instructions don't mention using --nogpgcheck.
