Yes, should be no problem if a good default is set. However, adding some explanation is still good as loads of people install in expert mode (leftover from MS installs where "expert" used to be the only way to set up a system to your needs; nowadays of course even expert mode does not allow you to do that). > Different algorithms exist to derive the IV (Initialization vector) > for each sector.
