First of all i want to thank you for your excellent work. i tested the OS and i am really happily surprised. it does things other PE's (WinPE..) do not . it recognize wireless cards that others do not. i will report some minor issues in separate threads in Forum. However i would like to know if possible to add true-crypt to the project as well as if next KNOS (alfa versions??)will be free or in the future it will be needed to purchase
Thanks again. For a non-expertise user as i am, but really worried about security , KNOS is the best i have ever known as secure OS.

I'm terribly sorry to report that TrueCrypt is *not* capable of running under BSD because BSD's security is so strict that many of the things that Truecrypt attempts to do run afoul of the security built into BSD. BSD just won't allow such manipulations of the kernel even with the FUSE filesystem that TrueCrypt requires. It WILL run under Linux since Linux' security at the kernel level allows such manipulations. From what I've researched, TrueCrypt has been trying to get their stuff to work with BSD for a couple of years now but they have not been successful so far. So maybe SOME day when they can get it working. KNOS is a completely static system in that nothing can be modified, and our security has been called "totally insane" in its level of internal paranoia. Therefore, KNOS doesn't support them, but I can understand the desire of many to encrypt their personal data and to that end, KNOS can be "custom built" to provide robust disk encryption using numerous secure "blowfish" level quality encryption for our customers ranging from ZFS, GELI, GBDE and others as required, but TrueCrypt just doesn't work on KNOS. Sorry to be the bearer, KNOS was designed for serious security where required and by design, we had to go with the "top drawer" pure Unix methods rather than "Unix emulation" (Linux) where that level of encryption is required. As to KNOS "future" ... we need to eat and already have "for sale" versions of KNOS and the toolkits from which it's made. But our INTENT is to make Beta versions of our NEXT versions available at all times for free in hope of having people willing to try it out and enjoy it. Those builds and upgrades will of course continue to be free as long as we're around since I can't imagine us ever stopping developing the "next thing that needs to be tested." Once again, sorry about TrueCrypt ... we'd *gladly* support it if it worked.
