Dear list,

Perhaps you can recall me as few days ago I seek your suggestion to secure my 
pendrive (running puppy) with encryption technology and almost all of you 
suggested me truecrypt. I did some search on that direction but finally I 
have found that truecrypt can't encrypt linux os as hidden os. I can imazine 
that near future that can support linux hidden os too. But what might be the 
alternative meantime ? Here is my scenario again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have 8 GB pendrive with puppy, dbpan, memtest84
Grub is installed as bootloader. I like to encrypt puppy, best is hide it as 
truecrypt does with hidden os. So ther must be a bootloader which can support 
encrypted partition.
