My new laptop (HP/Compaq nw9440) runs SUSE 10.2 exclusively. I do have vmware and cxoffice for wintendo apps but no specific partition. My only partitions are root, home and swap. My company has a new policy coming into effect, requiring all mobile devices have encryption built in. Though not entirely defined yet, I thought I'd get a jump on the process and encrypt my laptop. Good idea to do so, because I have source code, internal documents and whatnot there. I googled and found two articles on encryption, one of which is SUSE specific. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7743 http://en.opensuse.org/Encrypted_Root_File_System_with_SUSE_HOWTO Both of them seem to point to creating the partition as encrypted. In fact, the opensuse article discusses creating several partitions then moving stuff to the encrypted one. :P As I have my lapppie already built up and stuffed with important software (TuxCart, Amarok, Kaffeine, Ardour, iLives) and entertainment software (Netbeans, Visio, VMWare/XP) I don't want to re format if not necessary. Any way I can go about encrypting without destrying the partitions? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
