Is it not clear to me how to differentiate planned enhancements
versus
what has actually been implemented with respect to the changes for FC5.
I am presently using FC4 and have implemented encrypted partitions using
dm-crypt/LUKS as per:
http://www.saout.de/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php
My sense is that the plans include better integration with existing
utilities providing more streamlined mounting (including boot time) of
encrypted partitions.
Can anybody comment on the current status?
I think the real question is 'when will the installer support
installing on encrypted partitions'? ... everything else is just
normal userspace fluff that can be solved later via updates and
packages in extras.
