I just bought a new laptop which will be running SSD (Corsair 120GB) as the boot drive and would like to migrate my OS to the new system. One of my requirements is full-disk encryption. I work with proprietary client data and need to encrypt the new drive, its swap partition, everything except for /boot.

I've read instructions for doing this from the alternate install CD, but my OS is disturbingly cutomized (started out as 10.04) and it would take months to rebuild everything. I keep remastersys (-dist) ISOs to ensure i dont have to go through that process, but the ubiquity installer does not appear to have the option of doing disk-level crypt during the installation process.

I can boot the ISO into CLI, but don't know how to run the alternate installer from there. Has anyone been able to do this before? Thanks
