It would be the grate help for me. Getting PPDD to work on RH isn't the easiest thing in the world because of version differences (due to RH patching their systems heavily) You can find packaged version of PPDD for RH 7.3 and 8.0 (but sorry, no 7.2) at http://ppdd4rhl.sourceforge.net/ so you don't need to patch + rebuild everything, however those packages currently don't help in encrypting the root in any way. P.S. You'll get more easily answers to PPDD-specific questions on the ppdd-mailing list: ppdd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- - Panu - - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
