Thanks for the SuperSpeedy! reply <g>. The encrypted disk actually works fine in a non-bootable mode, so I'll just leave it in that format until 2.6 is out. It still does the job, providing me a complete clone that's offsite in case of fire or theft, I just won't be able to boot from it.
As long as I know this'll be covered in v2.6, then I can wait
Thanks!
Steve
