You could probably adapt the method used here. |

What if you create a new encrypted container... Mount it on loopback. Load a different lupusave (so you aren't mounted on the one you want to copy into the encrypted). Open the main container file. Then, with both containers open, from the command line
As I recall, that will correctly copy all files and symbolic links, without recursing where it shouldn't be going... Edit: you jogged my memory about something. There was a widget that would let you change passwords (or remove passwords), but it created a new save file from our existing one. I'll need to do some digging to see if I can find the thread again. _________________ Wellminded Search Add swapfile |

I'm not sure, but I think that this tool will do it: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=557683#557683 There was also a patch posted allowing "fsck" on encrypted containers when mounting... I'll see if I can locate that as well. Edit: PaulBx1 comes to the rescue again: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=545155#545155 This requires some rebuild work, however... And for manual fscking: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=320455#320455 _________________ Wellminded Search Add swapfile |
