The first question is, "which operating systems do you use?"  The
instructions are a little simpler if they're all the same, but you can
do it across different operating systems without much work.

For instance, on UNIX and OS X, GnuPG keeps its data in a directory
called $HOME/.gnupg.  On Windows, it's somewhere else -- it's in one
place on Vista and one on XP.  The Windows guys here will undoubtedly
tell you right where you can find it.  :)

Once you know what directory to look in, copy the files pubring.gpg,
secring.gpg and trustdb.gpg from your first machine to the appropriate
directory on the second machine.  Also copy the file gpg.conf if it's there.

Do not copy the file called random_seed.  Copying that file can have
very bad effects on the security of the system.
