Encrypt disk at install time

[Harry Hoffman]

Here's the output from a anaconda generated kickstart file after
install:

# The following is the partition information you requested
# Note that any partitions you deleted are not expressed
# here so unless you clear all partitions first, this is
# not guaranteed to work
#clearpart --all --initlabel
#part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=250 --ondisk=sda --asprimary
#part swap --encrypted --size=1024 --ondisk=sda --asprimary
#part pv.100000 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=sda
#volgroup internal_hd --pesize=32768 pv.100000
#logvol / --fstype ext3 --encrypted --name=slash --vgname=internal_hd
--size=75008

I guess you just need to specify how/where to set the encryption key.

HTH,
Harry
