It's an incredibly flawed design that it requires a second CD to do anything
outside the recommended partitioning scheme.

I wanted to have an encrypted partition for my laptop (business docs).  AND
the default is encrypting the whole system.  I tried it, just to see its
performance.  On a Core 2 duo 1.8GHz / 2GB of RAM, vmware crawwwwwls.  As
does everything else.  Nice, but no thanks.  Just swap and /home for me....
