Could you put the key on a usb drive so that the drive is required to unlock the partitions?

thank you very much for your reply. However I don't like the idea to store my key(s) on an usb drive. First of all if my laptop really gets stolen (or I loose it :o), the usb drive certainly would be attached, making the whole encryption stuff unnecessary. Secondly I don't want to worry whether I have my usb drive with me or not, because without the usb drive my laptop is quite useless. I like the idea of having a pass-phrase, and I would like to stay with this approach. -- Best regards, Karol Babioch <karol@babioch.de>
