Actually, I knew that it *could* work on any provider. I did read the manpage. :-) What I wanted to know is where I *should* make it work on. Basicly speaking, I'm not sure if I like the idea of the partition table being encrypted too because the risk of losing data seems to be higher this way. Or am I just paranoid? > Because this is the second such question I'm seeing, I'll probably add a > note to the manual page. More info in the manpage ist always positive. :-) Cheers! Chris
