Use of gen-random

[Michael K]

point taken. Randomness can be regenerated or reseeded.
Which /form/ of randomness you get will be taken from different
sources.

 That's why it actually /asks/ you to hit a few random keys and move the
mouse about during the generation of the random "pool" that gpg uses
when generating it's key-pair.

 At least I /think/ that's what is going on.

 For a definitive answer (depending on your machine) simply ask
/dev/random

 Yeah??

 Oh yeah.
