debian-edu etch test CDs support encrypted file systems

[Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>]

I'm happy to announce that the debian-edu etch test CDs support
encrypted file systems.  This feature was new in debian-installer
beta3 released a few days ago, and the feature is also included on the
recenly built etch and etch-test CD images for debian-edu.

To fetch the latest etch-test image using rsync, this command can be
used:

  rsync -vt \
    ftp.skolelinux.org::skolelinux-etch-test/debian-edu-i386-binary-1.raw \
    etch-test-i386-1.raw

Instructions for using the encrypted partitioning is available from
<URL:http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/PartmanCrypto>.  The
feature is still in development and might still contain errors and
security problems.  So use it only for testing for now. :)

I believe this feature is cool enough for us to prepare a press
release, after a few more have confirmed that it worked for them.  Any
volunteer to write such press release?

Friendly,
