How to check that it's working:
watch cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
This value should increase after starting the daemon.

tinypoodle:
Are you sure you really need such and could not just use /dev/urandom which is non-blocking?

lzsaver:
Yes, I'm sure. But I'm not sure what's the best entropy daemon:
audio-entropyd, clrngd, haveged, timer_entropyd, video_entropyd...

I think that Tiny Core need at least one of them. ::)

Also some entropy test program like ent would be quite useful.

Why?

lzsaver:
Of course, for faster key generation in a low entropy environment. 8)
