        I know, it's amazing the time that one can spend on configuring correctly
things that would appear simple at first sight (and to proof and test for
making a Howto ;-)

        Great, thanks!

        (It's not that I'm a fanatic of encryption, far from that, but I'd not
appreciate if a robber had not only a costly hardware but also personnal
files/mails/...!)

        Thanks to confirm that it is not included in the kernel. That's what I first
thought, but I was doubting recently.

        Thanks for this point too, I had not found this kind of information.

        I'll take a look and try to make it work. (Until today, I was stuck on making
work compiled kernel, because of a stupid character in grub menu, maybe due
to a mistyping and then replicated by lots of copy/pastes...).

        I still have a pb with USB : I've integrated USB drivers in the kernel (so,
no modules), and when I ever type a character on the standard keyboard (I
don't I've tried yet with a true external usb keyboard), the TC1K freezes,
and I can only go out of this situation thanks to long press on powerbutton,
or unplugging the power cord, after having removed the battery???
        Does someone here have encountered this pb? And why this behaviour?

        Thanks
