[CoLoCo] Ubuntu Encryption Question

[Brandan E. Lloyd]

Here is an example of setting up Full Disk Encryption with Debian
Etch<http://wejn.org/how-to-make-passwordless-cryptsetup.html>.
I don't know if it works or not because I haven't had a chance to try it
yet.  If you find a solution let us know. I would like to set this up when I
install Jaunty.
