I would like to encrypt my Kubuntu partition and have it require a USB key to boot. I have looked around but cannot seem to find anything on this subject and was wondering if the nice people of the Kubuntu community would be able to help me.
Except for the USB key thing, here's a pretty good method. That USB key approach would make me nervous -- one lost or dead USB key and your data is a boat anchor.
Sorry, I guess my initial post was a bit vague. What I am looking to do is; partition my 160gb hard disk into three partitions. One containing my Windows XP installation, one containing my Kubuntu installation and the third containing empty space (formatted with an NTFS filesystem). I would like it to be set up so my Kubuntu partition is encrypted and when Kubuntu is chosen from the boot menu, it will only decrypt and boot if a USB key with a password file is inserted.
