Then maybe that isn't the issue. I didn't think it would matter but did want to mention it. Just in case. ;-) > > On 10/06/2020 21:52, Dale wrote: >> I wonder, other distros have crypttab file instead of dmcrypt.

Later on, I'll move it to be under Documents. I'll worry about moving it later on. You notice anything off about that? I make a error somewhere? Miss a option maybe? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
