darudey Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Hi all. How can I, from scratch, install Mandriva 2010.0 with the root and home partition encrypted? Either using LUKS or any other encryption method. I guess when I start up my box, it should ask me for a password before attempting to boot into Mandriva. Please guide me through this. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darudey Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Boot up with Live CD Create one partition using LUKS i.e. cryptsetup (this will be your root partition) Create the filesystem using mkfs.ext4 Create another for boot and another for swap Using the installer Mount the encrypted hard drive (it will ask you for password) Select / for encrypted Select /boot for boot partition It will automatically detect swap Install and it will boot asking for password. Tested with Mandriva 2010 Free 64bit. Very easy process once you know how.
