People are working on making this easier to do, though I don't think it will be part of Anaconda for Fedora 7 since there isn't much time left. Take a look at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureEncryptedFilesystems While Jermey brings up some issues in his response, there are a lot of people that control the whole machine and don't need different encryption for different files and for which being able to stack their preferred file system with dmcrypt (and keeping things like write barriers working properly) would be a good thing. I don't think you need X working to be able to prompt people. And while a native language prompt would be nice, I don't see that as being critical at the get go. I can see the keymap being an issue, as that being messed up is going to leave you locked out. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
