Dear all:

I am following the instructions given in the OpenBSD site [1] and I
have one question. If my drive (sd0) has a linux installation on it,
when I get to the encryption part of the installation process:

dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sd0c bs=1m

(1) Will this overwrite the linux partition? This is /dev/sd0i in my
case (I think, I'm writing from the top of my head)

(2) After that, I would like to have separate partitions for X,
/usr/local/bin etc but I am afraid that these become too small in the
next release when I upgrade the system. How bad would it be to only
have a / and a swap partition (a and b)? I am just afraid that I end
up next time having to repeat the whole encryption process, which is
very time consuming...

Thanks,

Pau
