You could use a live image with a persistant home and an overlay update area. You can make this using livecd-iso-to-disk (from the livecd-tools package). You can encrypt /home as an option. Updates will probably eventually fill up the overlay area, and you will need to make another image to replace the old one to get the space back. When you do that you can leave /home alone. If you do this don't use the live image from the release, as there will be a huge pile of updates waiting, run livecd-creator to make an image based on the current set of updates available. You can also pull in packages you want that aren't on the image you want. That will keep them compressed and save space versus adding them into the persistant overlay space. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
