Mount the drive that contains your pgp directory in windows. In your home directory, link .pgp to the win95 pgp directory.

As a thumb's rule, re-format all the floppy disks that you have used to move your secret key. Don't trust delete or rm. it is very easy to undelete a file under M$, but even with rm it is possible to get the content of the file using a disk editor. A safe remove is to copy a file over the file to be removed and then remove it. Be paranoic with your secret key! Using pgp is an annoyance needed to get trust, but being annoyed without the advantages is much worse.

Get the debian package of pgp from nonus.debian.org if you haven't already. Copy your secret and public key files to your linux machine Backup any existing key files on your linux machine. run pgp -ka on your secret key ring and your public key ring. Enjoy :) -- Scott K.
