dm-crypt luks & lvm Full system encryption?? any joy anybody

Hiya
Im new to Fedora after giving up on Gentoo. While I was using Gentoo I used
this dm-crypt with luks and now trying to use the same system (well based on)
And I would prefer to use LVM as its just nice

I decied to do it the "so called harder" way crypt then them on top (so not having to have loads of
keys/passwords)
and that works fine (manually) at the command line
I noticed the default fedora init can't do the job. so took it apart and added the cryptsetup and the required kernel modules .
just adding the required commands for cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/hda3 crypt
but with nash I get no output promting to enter a password ( i assume this is feature of nash)

also tried a totally new init
and that would mount the crypts find the lvm parts mount then complain about not been able to find
/sbin/init on the fedora parition
(but i feel that was more down to my bad shell scripting)

I was wanting to know if any body has had any joy with this as google isn't been my friend with this
& really don't want to move back to Gentoo just so I can have uber security

First question. Why do you want to encrypt everything? Surely all you really need to encrypt is /home and swap. Do you store personal data in /usr or some other / directory besides /home?

IMO encrypting everything isnt required since the only information you need to secure is your own personal data in /home and any crap that ends up on swap.

The link below will show you how to do both of those, for the rest try one of the other guides you can find on google.
