A Czech government site needs a root certificate installed in my MacBook Air running Lion OS X. They offer 18 versions: Root QCA, Qualified CA, Public CA, Root QCA 2, Qualified CA 2 and Public CA 2, each in DER, PEM and/or TXT formats. Which should I use?

They will probably all work including the TXT (base64) version, so just choose one format and if it doesn't work then try that same certificate in another format.
