Truecrypt: Encrypt entre OS on Linux

Well, after much searching, and reading of tutorials, and running truecrypt --help, I could not find a way.

This pretty much solidifies the reason why (contrary to other posts on the 'net).

http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=sys-encryption-supported-os

Notice *nix is not supported on the list.

Just so we're clear, with the current verson of Truecrypt (6.1a), you CANNOT encrypt the boot/system partition on Linux or Mac OS X for that matter.

I hope this helps out someone else.
