Cool. > Slightly OT, but do you *really* need /boot, /usr, /bin, etc, to be > encrypted? /boot is where grub/menu.lst is. Of course you know that it can password protect itself. /usr contains /usr/local. /etc contains both shadow and dhclient.conf, which contains the unique string my ISP demands I hand to them when I connect. If you're considering encrypting your hard drive, you're already seriously security conscious (or paranoid), so extreme measures will not appear expensive. To the OP, grml.org has already done the Linux/Debian bit for you. It's a Debian Sid downstream distro which specializes in this sort of thing, slickly installing on usb keys, et al, with bleeding edge software. I'd bet that'd be the quickest path. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
