I need an advice on a kgpg.
I have a Mandrake 10.0 running on my machine since 2004.
My hard drive is running out of space (40Gb, who would have thought..) and I have a ton of encrypted data on it (bills, income tax papers and receipts). It's a LOT of data. mostly BMP files, easy to print.
Now, I have to get a new hard drive (like one of those 400GB monsters, ergh ergh ergh <-- grunting noise), install the system again and copy it all there.
I know the question may sound 'linux 1-0-1' but - how can I copy the keys and all gpg related files to a new hard drive? Where are the keys and all these files stored? I was poking around the directories and I didn't even see any gpg related folders..
I REALLY don't want to decrypt these gigabytes of data and encrypt them again..

thanks

Almost all programs create a .dir hidden in your home directory so in the gpg case copy the .gnupg directory in your /home/user_name. BTW no need for a re-install just download then burn a live CD like knoppix boot with it then mount and copy over the old partitions, re-run lilo/grub to put a boot loader on the new drive.

It worked! Thanks! Of course, it was a HIDDEN folder.. I appreciate the advice!

Why not just add the 400 GB disk to your system and copy the files over ?
