Hi James,

That should be in your home directory not "root":

	~/.ssh/id_dsa

This is your private key, and to be honest if this the machine where  
you originally created your key, it should have been put here already  
by default. Obviously if you have more than one machine or home  
directory that you want to work from, your private key needs to be in  
each of your homes.

~/.ssh/id_dsa		--> your private key, don't give to anyone and don't  
loose
~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub	--> your public key that you can give out to folks,  
place on remote servers etc

Hope that helps,
Gary
