I'm pretty sure that help with cryptsetup integration into the Debian Installer (D-I) is highly appreciated by the current D-I developers. As a starting point, you might want to check the following resources: request for support to integrate existing encrypted devices in D-I: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=451535 slighly outdated wiki page about cryptsetup integration to D-I: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/PartmanCrypto git repository with partman-crypto code: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=d-i/partman-crypto.git Greetings, jonas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJOryeYAAoJEFJi5/9JEEn+kRQP/0rYn8A/0w0PKJ7bCbkIxyC4 xh6QWG1quFCWiWXSQMqidWrXNv9Ht2TeJ58MMn/jk/rWJV8ZE7SGkkGW5h1Lf09m bjPqd9GRajzWLtZC7GCx5EigaNdoCtrXA4qmwDVDf8S+0KpxWZVi5tmz9CB9tUp6 V4qK5Iti2v8mH+rNktlv2sQRDfmXr0fe0+LLVTk9VmKzgn3blQ6jd51VI+XtcjK6 Uw/Tr525KlL5iPjZy7DDEJ4P+36774Euc5VmZiDahdrnzwV6oeUzIjLTLwe4KEYQ SDVu7T8eTaCY34c9KLAr1kCg0b8TzH4GSP2JXRkK6jGpYgzgTSFlHzi+OcTsiZ26 JZKGth6vs9IILpysCqGb53KyrVaKGAG2rVe8FdOtitYm2xOpLdNPHVs9x2XP0lFN sqo4o6cRIWBsz8RIdU6ma6pPphWBEUZqsHzLqEHqEpZN2iA3RE7Kp/RyEsnSSdz5 ra6t1So9LX+6FaxrHf6u2ZzcZ7SJB5+p54HYxgKCoXXZ/g8X95Z7PlaOBSBkvN2c uzleQ+2PCf+002CI+UcK9hmWsp6KxzZsTagilVFDFg+66c7IDfo5xK2acquq9a3l OujoEfOyShjo9CdMMMBlSki4V8Kn9BFfk4m0g594fJ9DkJwVl9PMSESw4CJbWuCl YaOA82xNdVhHO0ESful+ =GPw5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
