To run this at startup, you could try replacing the dropbox shortcut in your startup folder with this batch file and you could run this manually if you wanted as well. From my experience, the code should hang at the truecrypt log-on screen before proceeding to the next part (running the dropbox executable). The code assumes you always mount your volume on drive Z. "C:\Path\To\Truecrypt\truecrypt.exe" /v C:\Path\To\Truecrypt\Volume /lz /a /qĬ:\Path\To\DropBox\Executable\Dropbox.exe You will have to update some of the code depending on where you store your files and what not. I use this in some of my own scripts that require some pieces I keep within a truecrypt container. Small enough to leave on a flash drive without worrying about space, etc.You could try the following batch script. I also like to make a tiny volume (~10MB) and store passwords, credit card numbers, contact info, and such in it. So I created a new one as "fat" (vfat) and moved all of my junk there - as long as you aren't trying to store files larger than 4GB, it will work fine. I had previously created an NTFS volume with Truecrypt under Windows, and if it is not cleanly unmounted, then Puppy cannot mount it (until you repair it). I recently created an ext2 under Puppy, and WinXP couldn't read it (Puppy default is 256 Inode, and ext2ifs can only mount 128 inode volumes). Encryption is used to secure your data is case you have your hardware stolen. For a full drive encryption running Ubuntu you would need a native solution like LUKS and it can be easily set up during installation. The only problems that I've had with Truecrypt is volume formats. TC/VC are 'designed' to create/manage encrypted containers (files) or non-system partitions. jwmrc to move it over to "Filesystem", and found it an icon to use (actually probably just needed the full path on the icon it was pointing to, but I just copied that icon over to the other icon directory that seems to be the default path for icons). I did notice the install put the truecrypt entry in the "Utility" part of the menu. So I guess there is really no need for a truecrypt pet.

If you use these cross-platform, think carefully about the internal volume format (since the WinXp ext2ifs tool won't read Puppy's standard 256 inode volumes, only 128 inode volumes - however, Puppy will read/write NTFS and VFAT/Fat32 volumes) The mounted volume will be /mnt/truecrypt10 (if you chose "10"). ![]() To open a Truecrypt volume, I find it easiest to simply drag the icon into the Truecrypt window (it doesn't matter where - you'll see the file path appear on the command line), then select the mount point (e.g. The "system integration" tab is found under Settings -> Preferences It wasn't hard to install, other than figuring out to turn off encryption services. I don't know if this actually makes any difference - but it is possible that 6.3 installed some required libraries. tar.gz later (edit: replace ".deb" with "tar.gz") The only variable I didn't try, was direct installation of Truecrypt 7.0 I recall a popup window complaining that encryption wasn't built into the kernel (which was what I corrected by turning it off). I think there is a way from the command line to turn it off too (IIRC, looking at those same threads you did). I might try it again and see if I can find that parameter to turn off kernel services. PaulBx1 wrote:It was a little window, not command-line. Update: that setting is under: Settings > Preferences > System Integration (select the option "do not use kernel cryptographic services") I'm wondering if this is simple a new variation of the older message. ![]() Under 4.3.1, it barks something about encryption not being built into the kernel, but the GUI comes up - and then requires you turn off something in one of the options (I'll have to go back and look to tell you which option). Is this a command-prompt error, or does the program run (opening a GUI), but bark some message? Does everyone have to go through this to get Truecrypt, or am I just being stupid? ![]() It astounds me an item like this is so difficult to install. Then I tried looking for anything resembling "dev mapper tools" in the package manager, and found nothing at all. It had a series of dependencies which I also installed, except for one called perlapi (perlapi-5.10.0) which I can't find anywhere. I went looking for a fuse library in the Puppy package manager, and all I could find was called fuse-utils_2.8.1, so I guessed it might be that and tried to install it. I assumed they were not part of the Truecrypt install, and that I had to put them in. When it runs it puts out a little message that says it needs the fuse library and dev mapper tools to run, not being particularly specific about the names.
