I'm pretty sure LUKS handles that stuff, might poke around google for info on that. I'm unfortunately not extremely familiar with it but if I remember correctly that is what does it. -Adam >From Android <blockquote type="cite">On Sep 26, 2009 9:41 AM, "Ralf Ertzinger" <<a href="mailto:fedora@camperquake.de">fedora@camperquake.de</a>> wrote: Hi.

I have used an encrypted partition for some time now (before anaconda grew support for this), containing /home (so / is not encrypted). I get prompted for the password on boot, but the 'prompt' mainly consists of plymouth switching back to a text console. I know that I am supposed to enter the passphrase at this point, and it all works, but from the quoted text above I suspect that there is a 'pretty' prompt for this, too. What do I have to do to get this prompt? -- fedora-devel-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-devel-list@redhat.com">fedora-devel-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list</a> </blockquote>
