I encrypt the main volume, which holds all the partitions. You get asked to enter a password before boot can get past the first few stages. Then everything acts like an unencrypted drive, as far as you're concerned. Better that a thief can't boot things, at all. So they'll have a virtually useless computer, or they'll just install Windows on the laptop, erasing all your files in the process. Hmm, I wonder if that's a good choice to stick into the GRUB menu for a laptop that might be stolen? A "Re-install Windows" item that fires up some procedure that wipes drive and starts an installation, of some sort. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
