I suppose you mean initialization scripts, not installation scripts. Vector is a Slackware derivative, so they must be under /etc/rc.d. First rc.S gets run, and the rc.M or rc.4 depending on your default runlevel, finally rc.local and that's it. Other scripts in the directory get run by one of these scripts. How do you mean "more secure"? It's not very insecure as it is, to the best of my knowledge.

i made a distro using vl as the base

so i thought of encrypting the root partition

is it possible to give the user a choice of encrypted file system at the time of installation itself

if yess how..what do i have to do...i saw this happeningin SUSE!!

pl guide me.

the hint i guess lies in your post but till now i have opnly found articles telling encrypting swap/root/other partitions of a mounted distro
