Goal: Installing Centos 5.3, fully encrypted on a
HP/Compaq 6510b laptop.

Encryption is available in the GUI during setup.

WIFI:
Enable the network manager:

chkconfig NetworkManager on && reboot

Graphics:
Google Earth (and presumably other programs) crash X
fix: install a more recent kernel than the standard 2.6.18
here: http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/kernel-rt/i386/kernel-rt-2.6.24.7-65.el5rt.centos.i686.rpm
or do as root:
 cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
 wget http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/kernel-rt/kernel-rt.repo
 (vi it to set enabled=1)
 yum install kernel-rt
 done!

Linux crashes when closing the lid. Fix:
	add the following line to /etc/rc.local:
	echo 1 > /proc/acpi/video/C098/DOS
