Hi, I am fairly new to Linux. I have been using the test release of Ubuntu, Dapper Drake for the past few weeks on my laptop. I would like to encrypt my entire hard disk, so my laptop would be somewhat useless if it fell into the wrong hands. Most of the How-To's seem to assune you only want to encrypt a partition, and are leaving the main Linux partition unencrypted. I believe I will have to create a small bootable partion and then create a larger partition which will be encrypted and then do a fresh install of Linux to it. Is there anyone out there with a complete How-To for this. With instructions from the very begining. Assume I will be starting with a blank hard disk and an Ubuntu Dapper CD when it is relaesed in a weeks time. And also that I have very little knowledge of Linux, But a strong desire to learn. As it is a laptop, it has only one hard disk. I would also like recommendations as to how the disk should be partioned. Please excuse my ignorance if this already exists and just point me to where I can find the information.
