Im new to the list and CentOS and wonder if there is any option to do full disk encryption with dmcrypt and LUKS during the install stage of CentOS 5.1? I use Debian Etch at the moment and Debian is able to to this.
If not possible, are there any good guides that anyone knows about that explain how to dmcrypt everything but /boot on CentOS manually?

Full disk encryption is not currently possible, but there's a good tutorial on the wiki for encrypting parts of the disk.

While it's not possible through anaconda, you can do it manually after you've installed the system.
