Ha ha :) You are not as security-obsessed I mean aware as the OP! But for the sake of the argument, I think we should replace the words "main local partition" with "a subsection which has been set up to be and to-be-kept safe". Obviously, setting up a safe place which isn't safe - then no, that won't affect security to the better :) No worries, we get that. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
