Im new to the list and CentOS and wonder if there is any option to do full disk encryption with dmcrypt and LUKS during the install stage of CentOS 5.1? I use Debian Etch at the moment and Debian is able to to this. If not possible, are there any good guides that anyone knows about that explain how to dmcrypt everything but /boot on CentOS manually? --andrew -- GnuPG Key ID: ECB18ABA Fingerprint: FDF3 91FC F5BC 1164 E217 315E 337E 219B ECB1 8ABA -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
