Since I'm trying to ignore my wife who insists on watching those boorish 
soccer games...

Is this something you use with partitioner? I mean, do you install the 
software then create a virtual partition in YaST or do you just run the 
software and it creates the virtual encrypted partition?

This sounds nice, especially for some of my items under my Documents folder 
which may be personal in nature. The rest of my stuff (my MP3's and games) I 
could care less about.

When making a backup - kdar or otherwise - does the encryption information go 
along with the partition?
