This install was focused on testing installation onto dm-crypt
encrypted root partition.

1. For dm-crypt I could choose the blowfish cipher with a 
keysize of 448 bits. The blowfish kernel module supports such a
large keysize, but unfortunately cryptsetup is not too happy
about it and segfaults during luksOpen of the device. It was
possible to continue the installation after changing the 
keysize to 256 bits. (Bug#381973)
