Not that it would be the only way to build an encrypted system; but that one of the install pathways would be to end up with some referenced designed encrypted file system installation. Furthermore::From Gentoo-dev we see:: "you'd run 'check-my-install' script and it'd tell you what you likely forgot to set up " "But like I said, I _do_ believe there's a place for an automated build- script install solution operating from a pre-made configuration file, to automate the mass-install end of things. " I really don't care how the opportunity is solved. But many gentoo users would benefit from an installation semantic that leaves one with a (reference if you like) installation of a very target-specific) system. If we first design/build an unattended install gui based program ::then any number of target (custom finish) install options, like an encrypted file system, or Stephans's yubi keys, btrfs-raid-1 etc etc could be added by individuals. It would take gentoo to a higher plain of existence and usefulness. YMMV. hth, James
