Hi, this topic crops up from time to time. First, doing this yourself is hard, hard enough that if you have to ask how to do it, you will find it severely challenging. That said, it has been done by several distros that can be installed with "full root encryption". (Full disk encryption is not doable with cryptsetup. That would need BIOS support.) Best get one of the distros that do it. They usually just pack cryptsetup and its libaries into the initrd and write some scripts around it. One example I use on a laptop is Linux Mint, which will just show you a box to enter your encrytpion password before booting any futher. I expect Debian and Ubuntu can do something similar. Best recommendation if you want to do something like this yourself is to analyze the initrd of a distro that has it working and go from there.
