Ahh, I missed using the ID in fstab options. I saw it but didn't try anything. > > > (Note: I do not want to resort to the CLI to mount it.) > > AFAIK, no way.

I do need to redo my partitions anyway, so that might be a good time. I'd want to simply put the key in and have it pop up with the unencrypted partition (as it does) and then ask for my password for the encrypted one. It would seem that's the obvious method of using such things. This has been a real challenge. I'm suprised at the lack of robustness in the GUI for such things. Even TrueCrypt has a GUI for Wintendo but I have to downgrade to 1980's-era CLI for the Linux version. :( Thanks for your tips! -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
