Not sure about pendrives but if that was Debian, you would be using dm-crypt and encrypted FS, asking for password (or keyfile) in boot time. Once again, since you are asking about a pendrive distro then YMMV. J.Bakshi wrote:
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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
