Is the Netbook Remix install CD available with the text-based
("alternate") installer?

I want to encrypt my Netbooks HDD.

If I understand
http://kuparinen.org/martti/comp/ubuntu/en/cryptolvm.html correctly,
that is possible with the Alternate install CD.

But what I miss: Is it possible to put the key file onto a USB stick so
that it is loaded automatically from there at boot time? Long time ago,
I looked at the Gentoo initrd script, which apparently supports this.

A bit more sophisticated: Is it possible to put the whole boot partition
including the key file onto a USB drive?

I also found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmartCardLUKSDiskEncryption, which
sounds nice.
