please close this feature request.

device mapper, aes, and sha256 are already included in liveCD 2005.0 as modules.

to use dm-crypt as shown in the url above do the following first

modprobe aes
modprobe sha256
modprobe dm-mod

to load needed modules, then proceed as described in dm-crypt example in above url

thanks again.
