TrueCrypt

TrueCrypt installation under Debian

See http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/506

Prerequisites: I had to install bzr and force python dependency problem:

sudo apt-get install bzr python-celementtree
sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.22
url=http://debian.cante.net/truecrypt-installer
file=$(wget -qO - $url | grep -Eo 'truecrypt-installer[^"]+\.deb' | tail -1)
if [ ! -e $file ]; then
    wget $url/$file
fi
sudo dpkg -i truecrypt-installer*.deb
truecrypt-download
truecrypt-dpkg
sudo dpkg -i /usr/src/truecrypt-{modules-linux,modules-modprobe,doc,cli}*.deb

If any troubles (other prerequisites etc), see /usr/share/doc/truecrypt-installer/README

If you want some more automation such as mounting at startup, see http://marin.jb.free.fr/truecrypt/ [fr]

Documentation

/usr/share/doc/truecrypt-doc/truecrypt-user-guide.pdf is the full windows guide, very useful to understand all other aspects of TrueCrypt than the Windows GUI.
