use case: Say, you have a computer preinstalled with Windows, on which you would like to install a Debian Linux base. You would:
1) resize the larger, Windows proper (/dev/sda3) partition 2) install Linux encrypted in the created space, with 3) what you need to start it up (the /root partition) on a pen drive So, other people may be able to use that box just fine under Windows and you would do your thing. If for whatever reason you disown that computer, you would just delete that partition. Your own data you will keep on a USB pen or microdrive. Any step by step procedures? lbrtchx
