loop-aes included in latest Mandrake cooker kernel

[Michel Bouissou <michel@bouissou.net>]

Hi folks,

Kernel 2.4.17-10mdk from Mandrake cooker development tree at:

ftp://sunsite.uio.no/linux/Mandrake/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS

...incorporate the loop-AES encryption.

If you want to give it a try, you need to download from there at least:

kernel-2.4.17.10mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm
kernel-headers-2.4.17-22mdk.i586.rpm
losetup-2.11m-7mdk.i586.rpm
mount-2.11m-7mdk.i586.rpm

And install them.
Once you have it installed, you will have loop-aes crypto available.

(It installs and works OK on a Mandrake 8.1 distro)

You may also want:
kernel-doc-2.4.17-10mdk.i586.rpm
kernel-doc-html-2.4.17-10mdk.i586.rpm
kernel-source-1-1mdk.i586.rpm

(The name of the kernel-source package is broke, but it's actually the 
correct package)

Note: Loop-AES and cryptoapi are mutually incompatable...

P.S.: After having installed these, if I run a "make tests" as advised in 
loop-AES-v1.5b.tar.bz2, and running it from this original source package, it 
works plain good, showing that the loop-aes incorporation in the Mandrake 
kernel and associated mount and losetup utilities is really OK.

Regards.
