Install Arch with full system encryption

I've searched on Google for articles which describe how to install Arch with full system encryption. But I can't found something. Can someone explain how I can install Arch with full system encryption? And how to configure the bootloader so I can put in a password when I boot my computer.

Re: Install Arch with full system encryption

I'm not sure what you googled for - but this is one of my first results: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Di … ison_table

That describes three suitable options - each of which has it's own wiki page with step by step instructions on how to implement them.  Here's one: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt_with_LUKS

Follow the wiki installation guide. The bit about encryption is mentioned: "Remember to create any stacked block devices like LVM, LUKS, or RAID."

But that article is outdated... Does it still work with the current installation medium?

Yes it works, avoid only this section https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm … structions as it refers to old installer.
