Many LUKS partitions

Hi,

I have more than one encrypted partition (using dm-crypt), and so, at
boot time, I'm propted for all of their passphrases.

Is there a way to set a sort of master passphrase so that I'll only
input it once?

Another question: is there a way to use a USB pendrive to store the
information needed to LUKS to decrypt the partitions? (so that I
wouldn't have to fill in any password, just plug the USB pendrive)

Thank you.
