Encrypt The System Manually Upon Installation (Ubuntu 8.04)

[ Thanks to Falko Timme for this link. ]

"...please consider carefully how you want to size your partitions. I did this on a 15 GB virtual image, hence swap, root, home are quite small. As I've just told, I will make a seperate home partition. If you need to reinstall, you can just follow this guide again BUT leave the /home partition untouched during installation. Once you've setup then boot, swap and root, you can manually add the /home partition into the local filesystem and setup it up to automatically unlock by a key."
