Hi Markus,

Paul answered your 2.6.23-related question, I'll try to help you out with
the others:

You are correct, loop-aes normally isn't added to the basemod which breaks
the homedir-encryption functionality. I'll make a note of it so it's
included in new(er) kernels.

It's a controversial bug/feature of Morphix. The mainmod-initscripts
aren't started as most of the same functions have already been performed
by the basemod/miniroot in booting the livecd (and this way you get a
more-or-less pure debian install when installing morphix, without live-cd
cruft).

You can however easily activate the runlevel-scripts by adding: "init 2"
to /morphix/init.sh in the mainmodule.

Adding it to both would be the most sure way to have these run upon
shutdown. There isn't a standard way; in your case the best way is one
that (always) works :)

thanks for your feedback,
