<BasketCase> if not that might speed it up
<BasketCase> as well as enabling a pass-phrase in a convenient way
<trbotime> oh wow, thanks! i'll let him know
<BasketCase> pageant can be run with the key file on the command line.  if the key is pass-phrased there will be a prompt for that
<BasketCase> then all putty programs (and clonezilla) can authenticate from pageant instead of the file
<BasketCase> like ssh-agent but Windows
<trbotime> i didn't know about pageant either, I'm reading some resources on it now...this is really helpful
<trbotime> thank you so much
<BasketCase> ssh under cygwin can authenticate against it too with a replaced ssh-agent
