Thanks! I was wondering about this some more. Can I not put this tool luksipc on a LiveCD and then compile and run it from there? Then the actual disks would be "offline", isn't that correct?

Btw, I also tried building an RPM of the tool. But I am stuck in the step of installing in the spec file.

The Makefile (for luksipc) does not have an install option. I can go up to the %build section easily, but my .spec file has problems in the install stage.

Here are the operative portions of my specfile:

%prep
%setup -q


%build
make 


%install


(what do I put in here?)


Many thanks for your time, and best wishes,
Ranjan
