I did it from scratch, prepping a whole drive and then copying data from elsewhere, and holy hell did it take forever and cook that room. You don't need them, but I decided to make very detailed instructions meant for complete newbies on how to install and reinstall onto plain non-LVM encrypted root partitions without reformatting. I've been too lazy to publish it, but I'll get to that soonish. > I won't be encrypting > anything on the root drive, so I can boot up to a useable state and > then unencrypt various partitions. This is easy to do. I use hard drives like floppies in a tool-less dock in one case. It's useful if you carry drives off-site. -- I'm sure it's even possible to craft a sort of nuke-carrying submarine-style system where you insert a hard drive and then a specific usb stick, and then get prompted with a password. Too many moving parts for me to care about, but it's a cool idea. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
