Hi...

I want to install the new 9.04 i already have the previous partitions from:

http://www.howtoforge.com/encrypting-the-system-manually-upon-installation-ubuntu8.04

I plan to replace all BUT the /home drive...

How can i attach my home drive during the install with alternate cd?

Thanks...

Ok i'm doing it now...I selected Setup Encrypted System the attached the home drive and not format...

Its asking me for a new passphrase to encrypt it?

My question is do i attach the home drive as normal /home or continue? will it stuff up the encryption?

Like this way?

Or this way to attach /home?

( i know it says /boot but do i set up /home this way?)

Thanks..
