Comments on Protect Your Files With TrueCrypt 5 On Fedora 8

Protect Your Files With TrueCrypt 5 On Fedora 8 This document describes how to set up TrueCrypt 5 on Fedora 8. Taken from the TrueCrypt page: "TrueCrypt is a software system for establishing and maintaining an on-the-fly-encrypted volume (data storage device). On-the-fly encryption means that data are automatically encrypted or decrypted right before they are loaded or saved, without any user intervention. No data stored on an encrypted volume can be read (decrypted) without using the correct password/keyfile(s) or correct encryption keys. Entire file system is encrypted (e.g., file names, folder names, contents of every file, free space, meta data, etc)."

I followed your recommendations and had a dependency error:

 error: Failed dependencies:

        libfuse.so.2 is needed by truecrypt-5.1-1.i386
        libfuse.so.2(FUSE_2.2) is needed by truecrypt-5.1-1.i386
        libfuse.so.2(FUSE_2.6) is needed by truecrypt-5.1-1.i386

 to correct this

yum install fuse-libs

before installing TrueCrypt.

Thanks for your informative work! Cheers.

Cool!  Works fine in Fedora 10, too.
