[boot scriptor] Re: possibility of encryption?

Hi Mike, thanks for the reply,

I would like to keep someone from accessing the password protected
material even if they were to steal the CD.  Maybe I'm missing something,
but I can't think of a way to do this.  I know I could make the user enter
a password before booting an image, but that doesn't protect the image
from falling into the wrong hands if they have the CD.
