As far as I remember, there is a console available during install. You should be able to create the slices and partitions with sysintall and afterwards switch to the console to do the rest. I don't see why you think x should care if the home partition is encrypted or not. The process is transparent for the applications.=20 I'm currently using an encrypted home slice and don't see any problems. My setup is very similar to: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks-encrypting.= html#AEN25438 Fabian --=20 http://www.fabiankeil.de/ --Sig__12fWLmiT7nU0NqyxmN7M8M Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFEt8+zjV8GA4rMKUQRAnKWAJ4hKAgJi1c9AnG0rSWTzzUkyCN9HQCcCY3C zTCLQ0Ha27T+LB3KmO5s1tM= =qsXB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig__12fWLmiT7nU0NqyxmN7M8M--
