Scramdisk containers require a lot more random numbers than
Truecrypt containers. There is the possibility to change the
configuration to read all the random numbers from /dev/urandom.
But this will be less secure. If you none the less want to do so,
open Options/Configure in the GUI and change the value of the
random option in section sdcreate to /dev/urandom. After this
change and a restart of SD4L either GUI or the command line
program sdcreate will no longer bother you with tedious mouse
waggling.
