thx alot. but actually this is not quite what i was looking for. i dont have the time and skill to do (and understand) that. isnt there maybe a precompiled kernel package out there that just gives me a console to decrypt my data and copy it somewhereelse and then forget about encryption in the future? > I guess you don't have the old gentoo arround anymore to recover your data i am sorry but no thx ffpx flo
