Awesome... I will be posting your instruciton in the HowTo as the primary method for install. The manual method will only be secondary. Thanks big time for your support!Originally Posted by marcip

If you have ddclient installed, check if it still works after the upgrade!
I had to reinstall the old kernel with synaptec and completely deinstall ddclient and the install it to make it work again. After a reboot ddclient did not start with the old kernel even though it was in /etc/init.d
Unfortunately now I cannot use truecrypt since I keep getting
I reocompiled the kernel 2 times, rebooted, recompiled truecrypt, used the binary. Nothing seems to workCode:FATAL: Error inserting truecrypt (/lib/modules/2.6.15-25-server/extra/truecrypt.ko): Invalid module format truecrypt: Failed to load TrueCrypt kernel module
HowTo has been updated with a new method.... if anybody could provide more mirrors for download of the file it would be greatly appreciated by many! Let me know if there are any problems.
*doh*
finished my installation minutes befor the first post was updated^^ but ...well my first compiled modules :] and it seems that truecrypt works fine. thx for the howto.
*notice for me: read the entire thread*
Sorry to hear I didn't get the update in time.... my bad. Thanks for the feedback - glad to hear it's working for you.
Thanks all for the fine (and growing) tutorial!
I've got both the 386 and 686 kernel available and installing the deb in the 386 worked fine.
For the 686 kernel it was necessary to go by option #2 that worked as well.
I did get the compile errors rso reported but so far they don't seem to affect anything.
One question; the opened directory plus content are owned by root, even when the commands are done without sudo, this way you can't add or modify anything.
How to get them owned by the user opening the container?

Good question. I believe the answer lies within Step 10 of Method #2 - When you are prompted for the following if you answer with an "N" and this should provide the solution you are looking for.
3. Allow non-admin users to run TrueCrypt [y/N]:N

Big amendment to your howto:
in method #2, step 8 (the compiling of all the kernel modules) is completely unnecessary. the truecrypt build.sh takes care of compiling only its own truecrypt module, using the kernel sources. there is no need to compile any other modules, you can just skip step 8 completely (as it happens, the most time consuming and error-prone step).
so, you might wish to modify your original howto (which is good in all other respects) with this in mind.
oh and another thing. very important to verify the gpg key after downloading the truecrypt source archive. to do that, download the gpg signature file as well, and then import the key with command:
and then verify the signatureCode:gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv F0D6B1E0
that would also be a good thing to add to your howto.Code:gpg --verify truecrypt-4.2-source-code.tar.gz.sig truecrypt-4.2-source-code.tar.gz
