My thought is that FC8 is hardly a secret... What needs to be encrypted 
is usually found in /home, or /usr/local. If you can restrict the 
important data to filesystems which can be mounted after boot.
    

Depends on how paranoid you want to be.  I suspect that interesting things
could be found in /tmp as well, for example.


  

     I encrypt /home  and swap. I then mount --bind /tmp and /var/tmp from the        encrypted file system. This is sufficient in my view.
