I spent the weekend to try out various things and approaches: I still prefer to get the fully encrypted setup, only/max leaving the boot partition unencrypted.

Vielen Dank für Eure ganzen Tips...ich möchte meine Steuererklärung mit einem "geführten" Programm, wie Wiso Steuer, Tax oder ähnliches machen. Eher nicht direkt mit dem Elster-Formular.
