Encrypted Dapper filesystems?

[Pupeno]

By the way, what I did was a normall installation to a / partition of
7GB and then, when everything was up and running corretly, I created
another encrypted partition and mounted it on /home.enc/, I copied
everything from /home to /home.enc, unmounted /home.enc and mounted it
on /home/.
