	Hi, Stephen.

	I'm also interested in encrypted filesystems and I think that
	the only way to go (reasonable one, that is) is to use the
	international kernel patch available at
	http://www.kerneli.org/.

	I'm so interested in those things that I'm considering myself
	making a deb package of that kernel (possibly with the IPSec
	or FreeS/WAN patch include also) and any additional utilities
	needed, as a sort of add-ons to Debian.

	I'm still only planning this, and I still have lots of things
	to learn, but perhaps this would make the international kernel
	patch more widely-used?

	Making special-purpose boot-floppies would be a second stage
	of this plan.


	[]s, Roger...
