The FSFE wiki has details about manually configuring[1] the Fellowship smartcards.
I've started a wiki[2] and discussion in debian-devel[3] about using a Debian Live CD to run a clean-room environment (without network) with a whiptail-based UI (similar to Debian installer, etc) for managing the lifecycle of master keys and smartcards. This would eliminate the need to remember or look up command line instructions.
One use for such a Live CD is that it could be posted out to new fellows so they can get started more quickly.
It would be interesting to get any feedback people have about the workflow in the wiki[2].
Regards,
Daniel

Thank you Daniel. Could you write a short blog post as well? Then we could include it into the next newsletter to reach more Fellows about it.

I had a look and without actually trying it out, I think it looks great. There are good explanations about security implications and the document is structured well.
Happy hacking! Florian
