No damn!
It still fails!
It looked like everything went well, but when I boot into the new
system, I'm not asked for any encryption-password.
What the heck is going on here?
Is that installer in "testing"so buggy, that I cannot even use it to
do encrypted installs???
Please tell me there's a way of getting this to work.
Or must I install Jessie and then change from there to Stretch?? (Will
that work?)
Thanks.
