Greetings,
Hopefully I can give something back to the community, I don't have much to offer except perhaps some knowledge and experience.
The link below will tell you how to create a USB Pen Drive (Stick) that aswell as having your important files and things - it's also bootable on almost any computer that can be booted from a USB Drive. This may come in handy when you don't have your computer, but want to bypass the operating system of a computer you have access to, but no idea of what is on it as far getting access to your files.
Stage II - The USB Drive (Using UniversalSurvival_Additions.zip) has TrueCrypt (Encryption) which is perfect for all those private documents. I have selected Slax as the operating system - there are others but that is what I have experience with.
Parts of the document that mention UniversalSurvival_Additions.zip have not been uploaded yet as I'm not sure about the License for TrueCrypt - when installing via that file there is no usual Accept Terms button you get when installing software. Although it is a standard module for Slax, so it should be ok.
Please read the document properly as there are a few critical parts (well 1 actually)I would like to know peoples experiences with this thing - especially non-technical people
Also disregard the "Explanation of Documents and Software" section as its in the UniversalSurvival_Additions.zip
If you would like the next stage (TrueCrypt and Wifi) and a Survival Podcast Link, please let me know and i'll update the Documentation
Setup Document.pdf - 0.04MBFor now I just want to see how many people get the Bootable Stick Created
This document is evolving
Good luck
Braden
PS the zSHARE file will only be hosted for so long - then deleted a certain period after the last download
PPS For the technical - if you manually install the TrueCrypt Module from the Slax site - it will not work by default, there are a few tricks to get it working - if interested let me know. The UniversalSurvival_Additions.zip file will install and configure it correctly - but thats stage II
