Check the link for help (It's Ubuntu 7.10, but there is no big

It doesn't cover a dual-boot situation...that's the hard one to
do.





Of curse you can encrypt only your swap, but why not encrypt the
hole system?

  I sure would LOVE to know an easy way to encrypt my swap.  My
  plan had
  been to do a fresh reinstallation of Ubuntu 10.04 on my
  dual-boot
  machine but I got to the "encrypt the disk" portion of the
  installation
  using Alternate CD and quit.  There were too many questions or
  settings
  that I had no idea what to enter.
