  <!-- Started by marja on 2012 03 29 -->

  <!-- NEEDS TO BE WRITTEN AND THEN REVIEWED! -->

  <!-- JohnR added note for bug 133 re encrypted partitions -->

  <!-- JohnR 2012-04-10 - tidy up module formatting -->

  <!-- Marja, 2012-04-18 changed "If you wish to use encryption on
    any of your partitions" into "If you wish to use encryption on
      your <literal>/</literal> partition" because pterjan said this is only for root 
      Also added some text. -->

  <!--marja 20120418 moved section end tag down to where it belongs-->

  <!--marja 20120418 added para 6a-->
