using gpg-floppy

Heya,

 

I created a "gpg"-key for myself and put it on a floppy. It works great, but I'm now trying to use it with thunderbitd, with is giving me problems.... Signign works fine, but it's the checking of signed messages that is not really working.

 

I first mounted the floppy read-only, but when thunderbird wants to check againsta certificate, it wants to write the certificates to a temporary file (the with-colons-option of gpg) .. so I had to disable the read-only stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ok...that didn't help much ... I had to make all the files on it writeable, because it wants to write to the trustdb.gpg-file afterwards ... (I'm using a fat-floppy if I should be able to mount it on another non-linux-system. ).

 

Now it seems it can't create cross-device links or so ....(the link -command is used I think).

 

Can anyone help me with this?? Thanks.
