Comments/Problems:
The installer/partition guide tried to use 500GB as swap space in my
encrypted volume group.
Could not use the auto partitioner, had to use a manual install...
I don't understand why you "had" to use a manual partitioning system...
Because the installer insisted to use 500GB as swap space and this
couldnt be changed in the guided mode (or the installer menu is to
complicated for me. If i tried to "configure lvm" or "configure
encryption" it started with partitioning the 500GB swap).
What is the disk size and in what is having an encrypted swap space a
problem?
There is no problem with the encrypted swap. Its just too big.
Here is my setup after i used manual install:
# fdisk -l /dev/sda

You apparently tried to use the "Guided - use entire disk and set up
encrypted LVM" option. Is that right?
Ack!
