It was originally based on cryptsetup, and +adds support for LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup). LUKS is a standard +on-disk format that stores all necessary setup information in the +partition header. + +To compile this package, the device-mapper package is required. This +package is available from the extra/lvm2 directory of your Slackware +Linux 11.0 distribution medium. Actually, cryptsetup-luks will compile +without having this package installed, but it won't be able to do +anything useful, because it cannot map a device for a crypto device. + |
