Note: Truecrypt 6.2a does not need device mapper to work, truecrypt PDF guide is a seperate package. This version has a GUI. This version will work on any version of puppy.

First, thank you very much for these files! I use TrueCrypt all the time.

I made a new TrueCrypt volume to find out it is created as a fat volume that only takes 8 characters! That won't work for me. I ended up booting up Windows and reformatting the encrypted drive with ntfs. I would prefer to format it with a linux file system.

I started to use fdisk, but backed out. It said that I "must set cylinders." At this point I became uncertain if fdisk is the correct tool.

In the terminal window can I type, "fdisk /path/encrypted_volume" and then proceed through the steps involved with formatting? Is there a graphical tool that I could format this with?

Thanks!

if your using 4.3a its /dev/mapper/truecrypt0 if your only using 1 truecrypt file.

you could check the path by typing mount in a terminal.

Wolf Pup,

Thanks for your help on this. I have 5.1a installed, by the way.

OK. I type "mount" and get this...

Start truecrypt and when you enter your password for the file, click options, under filesystem, check "do not mount". Enter you password and then try to format with mkfs.ext3

Thank for your help on this.

I have reformatted container files successfully with TrueCrypt 4.3a, but haven't gotten it to work with 5.1a.

Guess I will create my TrueCrypt containers in a version of puppy that has the old truecrypt installed.

Thanks!

I am new to puppy, so excuse me.

Downloaded and installed the files you provides:

truecrypt-5.1a.pet
truecrypt_guide-5.1a.pet

After rebooting I find truecrypt in Menu/utlity, but it does not work. If I write "truecrypt" on the terminal,it gives:

# truecrypt
truecrypt: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.1' not found (required by truecrypt)
truecrypt: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by truecrypt)
#
It seems some libraries are lacking. Anyone knows what to do?
Thanks
