Assuming you backed up the entire .gnupg directory, you can just drop it in to your new home directory as-is. If you had the private key somewhere else though you are out of luck. You may want to consider storing your private keys ASCII-armored on paper somewhere very, very safe. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
