Comments/Problems:
Chose third option on filesystem partitioning and creating:
LVM+encryption; chose to install everything in one partition (beginner's
recommendation); everything fine this far.
Was asked for encryption of swap file. Chose "yes" for encryption. Got
asked for entering key. On that screen I changed my mind - did not want
to use swap encryption. I chose "go back" (or what soever it is in the
English version). Error: The screen with the choise "Swap encryption yes
or no" (something alike) did not come up. Instead install continued
(with now undefined values for encryption of swap?) and died at 82% when
writing "uswp... something". Did not recover for 50 min. Terminated
install. System did not look bootable.
With best regards,
Artus
