Re: truecrypt support in grub ?

[phcoder]

Is there any info about the truecrypt booting process too? This is more 
important than being able to read truecrypted files because I don't 
think that anyone wants to boot linux from truecrypt when luks is 
faster, better integrated and provides similar set of features
I don't see it on the link you provided. Whirlpool is based on tweaked 
rijndael which is already a part of your patch. And LRW and xts are used 
(and recommended) for luks too.
