System encryption

[John M2009]

I read somewhere (i can't remember where) that it was possible to encrypt the whole system drive, but one had to reinstall ubuntu. So, I booted from my Ubuntu CD, selected "install" but at no point did i see an option to use encryption, so I quit the installation at the final step (7) Since I saw little point in reinstalling it again, unencrypted.
Can someone help me out here please?

You cant install the system like that from a live cd. You need to download and use the Alternative installer.

I thought I had the alternative installer, or maybe i downloaded the wrong one, could you post me a link to the download page for the alternative installer please?
