I understood the use of the DVD the first time. No need to repeat it
each and every posting. ;-)

Choose the third option to do this as a user, rather than root.

That was absolutely unclear and now that I know it, I am glad I did not
changed my hardwareconfiguration.

You can change it back as soon as truecrypt has the random data.


I do not doubt its usability, I doubt its ease of use.

Once made, mounting is:

$ truecrypt /location/of/file /mountpoint

Enter password for '/location/of/file': ******** <Enter>

Bzzzt. No go.

Nooooo, but I do now. What, pray tell, is tc, normally. I'll add a letter,
or even two, to my alias. OK, I changed it to tcp, and checked first to
see if bash thought that was used for anything else. Bash does not
recognize tc as a command, neither as ordinary user, nor root. Are you
funning me, boy??

Do you have all the man pages installed? Do man tc. Do tc as root:
root@penne : tc
Usage: tc [ OPTIONS ] OBJECT { COMMAND | help }
where OBJECT := { qdisc | class | filter | action }
OPTIONS := { -s[tatistics] | -d[etails] | -r[aw] | -b[atch] [file] }

I have no idea what it does.

Until you fill a partition, do you consider it wasted space?

OK. Example:
/dev/hdf2 21G 12G 8.8G 57% /home
Now I make a 4GB hidden partition. That would mean I have 4.8 GB left.
Of those 4GB hidden. I use 1.5 GB of it.

I am in the process of testing makeSUSEdvd, making 3GB iso's
The first is made and I have 1.8 GB left. I now want to make another.
That means I can't put it anywhere. 1.8GB is not enough and 2.5 GB on
the encrypted part is not enough.
If I use EncFS, I would have 4.3 GB left. Enough to place the 3GB iso.

So yes, the unsused part of the encrypted part a waste of space as I
can't realy use it.

I honestly don't remember having to be root for any of this. It's
possible, and I'll check that out, but I don't think so, except for
the (chmod o+r /dev/input/mice).

I just typed the required amount of keystrokes.

Don't be getting modest on me now. You da MAN. You done be mah HEEROO. ;-D
Don't disillusion me. It's rude!

You think I am a hero now? Wait till you see the next version of
makeSUSEdvd. :-)
