I feel a bit like the 'man' users who used to complain about 'ínfo' - I'm probably not asking the right question.
If verifying keys means I need to create my own key, which is my impression from that manual, then for the moment I'll do without. The key word in my request was _idiot's_ guide - I know almost nothing about pgp, and all the documentation I've found assumes I *want* to *sign* things - as I said earlier, with a self-signed key that is not particularly useful. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
