  <!-- 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-->
