Hi... Trust me. I know nothing. I have an Intel Core-2 Duo running Linux Mint.
I assume you got a message that you had to do something in order to collect 'the entropy'. That doing something involves going off and using the computer to do other things rather than looking at the terminal. The message, IIRC, says you have to move the mouse about or use the keyboard but, and someone else might step in... Try watching some movies or perhaps better still go tar some random files on your hard disk and write a snotty letter to someone whilst playing 'Heavy Metal' and other stuff. Again I know nothing but I think the 'entropy thing' is an effort to generate some random prime numbers and you need to create the randomness by picking your nose or scratching your arse in between fiddling with the keyboard and other things to do with the computer. Apologies if that comes across as being facetious. The more random you are as a human and the faster you do more random things as a human the faster the entropy arises.
