Key Generation

[Harry Tuttle]

I would really like to find out what I am doing wrong. I have tried
for 2 weeks now to create a key pair and keep getting the same message
only with different "Bytes Needed". This is the message I just got
from the lastest version of G10 (V.0.3.1)


gpg: Warning: using insecure memory!
We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to
perform
some other action (work in another window, move the mouse, utilize the
network and the disks) during the prime generation; this gives the
random
number generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.
+++++..........+++++.+++++...+++++......+++++.+++++......++++++++++..............++++++++++...+++++..+++++................+++++.......++++++++++.++++++++++......+++++........++++++++++.+++++.............+++++...+++++..........++++++++++...+++++>+++++.........+++++>...........+++++...................+++++

Not enough random bytes available.  Please do some other work to give
the OS a chance to collect more entropy! (Need 20 more bytes)

I am running on a Cyrix 6x86P200+ with 48meg of RAM. I am using Linux
Kernel 2.0.34 and am on a Debian 2.0 (hamm) system. I have libc5 and
libc6 installed and have not had any problems with any other program.
I have tried moving my mouse, running processes in the background,
compiling programs on another tty, and just about everything I could
think of to generate enough ENTROPY. I also have another 50 meg of
swap file available. 

If anyone can help me out please let me know. The ./configure and make
goes fine with no errors or warnings. Would really like to get this
working as I have been using PGP for the last 4 years and want to be
able to stay with the GNU License programs.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
