Re: Is an encrypted Fedora Live CD possible?

I have created LV's and then encrypted said LV and then mounted the
decrypted device.  So he should be able to create a LV just for the
data and encrypt it.  The machine would fully boot up  but then a
password would need to be entered to see the data on that LV.  You
would probably want a script to build the crypt device and then mount
said filesystem if the password was right.  If the password was typed
wrong you would want to script to be able to be rerun again to do it
correctly.

There is little or not point in putting a user password on the ISO
itself as that is trivially breakable unless that password is the
password to decrypt the iso which would be much less forgiving (wrong
password means completely reboot and try again from the start).
