I your partition example a go and I think that will work nicely for now at least. I saw the option in FreeOTFE to have it install to the disk. Carrying the decryption software with you would be a bonus. I went back and made sdb1 = 10M FAT32 , and the difference to sdb2. Then I followed your example again for sdb2 but I wasn't able to get windows to mount sdb2. Windows decided to mount sdb1 and ignore sdb2. I forget the exact error but something about assigning a drive letter. OT for this list, but it's something I'll keep digging into. - -- Daryl Styrk Naples FL, USA -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkoqraAACgkQ6baBhW8CzrgRZQCfZRm2RXpECKm1vUfiOMJdYv8w gOgAnjDVj0cg7hfx6APQMk94posf9b+r =nEsh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
