one small touch to make it right for list style

The X.Org [[GetVal(DocsDict,XorgVer)]] X server has been modified to automatically detect and configure most hardware, eliminating the need to modify the `/etc/X11/xorg.conf` configuration file. The only hardware configured by default in the `xorg.conf` configuration file written by '''Anaconda''' is:
- * the graphics driver
+ * the graphics driver, and
* the keyboard map
All other hardware, such as monitors (both LCD and CRT), USB mice, and touchpads, should be detected and configured automatically.

encrypted fs during installation note
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fedora [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]] provides basic support for encrypted swap partitions and non-root
file systems. To use it, add entries to `/etc/crypttab` and reference the
created devices in `/etc/fstab`.
+
+ New in Fedora 9, the installer '''Anaconda''' has support for creating encrypted file systems during installation. For more information on that, refer to the ''Fedora Installation Guide''':
+
+ http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide
+
+ Installing to encrypted volumes (including the root) is now be supported. There is no configuration tool for adding/removing keys from volumes at a later time or otherwise doing modification of the encryption. Refer to this feature page for more information:
+
+ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureEncryptedFilesystems

file systems. To use it, add entries to `/etc/crypttab` and reference the
created devices in `/etc/fstab`.
- [[Admonition("note", "Encrypted FS Support Unavailable During Install", "Enable file system encryption after installation. Anaconda does not have support for creating encrypted block devices.")]]
+ For full instructions on using encrypted file systems, refer to the ''Fedora Encryption and Privacy Guide'':
- The following example shows an `/etc/crypttab` entry for a swap partition:
+ http://docs.fedoraproject.org/encryption-privacy-guide
+ === Ext4 Preview ===
- {{{my_swap /dev/sdb1 /dev/urandom swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256
- }}}
+ The new ext4 file system is available in Fedora 9 as a nearly feature complete preview. Testers are encouraged to review the documentation and try implementations of ext4. When finally integrated, users should experience no problems with the new file system, and should find it bigger, better, and faster.
- This command creates an encrypted block device `/dev/mapper/my_swap`, which can be
- referenced in `/etc/fstab`. The next example shows an entry for a filesystem volume:
+ While an ext3 file system can be mounted as ext4, a ext3 to ext4 conversion tool is planned that converts existing ext3 on-disk format to ext4.
- {{{my_volume /dev/sda5 /etc/volume_key cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256
- }}}
+ For more information about this feature:
- The `/etc/volume_key` file contains a plaintext encryption key. You can
- also specify {{{none}}} as the key file name, and the system instead asks for the encryption key during boot.
- The recommended method is to use ''LUKS'' for file system volumes. If you are using LUKS you can drop the `cipher=` declaration in `/etc/crypttab`.
+ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraExt4
+ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Ext4
- 1. Create the encrypted volume using {{{cryptsetup luksFormat}}}.
- 1. Add the necessary entry to `/etc/crypttab`.
- 1. Set up the volume manually using {{{cryptsetup luksOpen}}} or reboot.
- 1. Create a filesystem on the encrypted volume.
- 1. Set up an entry in `/etc/fstab`.
