Hi, thank you for the replies, i changed the path info in both files, but i alos got some errors, first the Stick havent got mounted correctly with my entry in the cryptdisks ini file, and I also get the about the hda1/home key to be unsecure, the strange thing is when I run "/etc/cryptdisk restart" the first time it dont work, but when I run it a second time, without doing anything else, everything gets initialized perfectly. The trick from Henrik looks nice, i will try this out, wil the stick be mounted before cryptdisks is run?
