Dear list,

I like to secure my 8GB pendrive.
I like to make two 4GB partitons, one for puppy linux and one as left to
use as pendrive. But I like to encrypt the partition having puppy so that
it is even not possible to access that partition even from Linux. It
should ask password before accessing that partition. Could any one give
me a direction to achieve this ?

thanks

Hi!
Truecrypt supports booting from an encrypted hdd with its own
bootloader which asks for the password to decrypt the partition. I
don't know if this works on a pendrive, but I'd give it a shot!

Cheers
