Description of problem: This Fedora-docs wiki page ( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/CreatingKeys#Creating_GPG_Keys_Using_the_Command_Line ) suggests that users create a key by entering "gpg --gen-key" but the text instructions beneath that are incomplete. A bit lower, the screen output shows: Please select what kind of key you want: (1) DSA and ElGamal (default) (2) DSA (sign only) (4) RSA (sign only) Your selection? Option #3 is missing, and option #1 is not the correct default option. The following is actually displayed by the terminal: Please select what kind of key you want: (1) RSA and RSA (default) (2) DSA and Elgamal (3) DSA (sign only) (4) RSA (sign only) Your selection? This is a bit problematic because the following wiki instructions suggest that the default option is the correct option. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I think this would fall under: Name : pgp-tools Arch : i686 Version : 1.1 Release : 4.fc13 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit the wiki page - view incorrect text Actual results: As above Expected results: Correctly display the available options and let the reader know which is the preferred option to choose. Additional info: I didn't see a place to attach this bug to the wiki, so I hope setting it to "fedora-websites" is correct.

It's a wiki so feel free to change it yourself. The wiki is for community changes.
Thanks, Eric. Given the importance of GPG keys, I wanted to err on the safe side, but I've gone ahead and made the corrections to the wiki page. I've also marked the bug as closed.
