Unless anyone has further suggestions, it appears I need to downgrade to Vista (which came with the laptop) and bite the bullet.
Ideas?
Having followed your discussion on encrypting partitions, I was actually wondering if you might not just need to fake a partition in a file, encrypt the fake partition, and only mount that when needed? I already have 10.3 on my laptop, and running smooth enough, so I was pondering doing this for the stuff I need kept safe.
Well, ideas happen at the weirdest moments.
I woke up this morning by having my seven-year-old jump onto my bed and almost crushing me in the process.
For some reason, the first thought I had, while lying there in pain was - hey: I can install XP on a smallish partition and have them encrypt that. Then I install SUSE 10.3 on the rest of the machine and it will be "compliant".
I'm gonna try that. We'll see how it goes.
How much has to be encrypted? You should be able to encrypt /home and perhaps use a swap file, and configure the system to delete the swap file on shut down and then recreate it on boot. You can also configure the system to clear /tmp on boot. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
