        (Yes, I renamed my machine, although maybe my first choice of
        'ione' would be better :)

	The system is monitor and keyboard-less.
>Description:
	gpg --gen-key always ends up sitting there with:

	We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
	[snip]
	Not enough random bytes available.  Please do some other work to give
	the OS a chance to collect more entropy! (Need 300 more bytes)

	Despite a constant stream of random data from /dev/random, and
	leaving it there 10 minutes.

        Even doing a find / and exporting X sessions doesn't help
        (although the progress display proceeds further in this case).

	Similar tools, such as ssh-keygen have no problems.

>How-To-Repeat:
	gpg --gen-key, answer prompts
>Fix:

	Don't use encryption, only terrorists use encryption!!!!!111
