You just arrange for the script to detect whether a private key is present. If none exists, it asks the user whether they want to generate a private key, and then calls gpg with the relevant options to do so. The private key isn't part of the script, nor is it a requirement to be able to (successfully) run the script. Note that the GPL does not say whether the output from the installation script has to be usable with the target hardware. -- Russell King (rmk@arm.linux.org.uk) The developer of ARM Linux http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/personal/aboutme.html
