  • Interesting concept. Did you encrypt the other partitions? Aside from the encryption, I imagine you would be able to get this running by just choosing to install the bootloader on the USB drive during initial installation Commented Jun 6, 2014 at 11:57
  • Yes. Other partitions (including root) are encrypted. Bootloader is installed into /boot on USB Stick but it will not succed without initial ramdisk put into USB Stick (kernel image). Question is how to put initial ramdisk onto USB after succesful install. After that You can either remove LUKS header which will leave your HDD looking just like random noise or go with plain dm-crypt encryption which looks like random noise from start. For now i focus on LUKS but with presented problem solved i don't see any reason why not to go with plain dm-crypt. Commented Jun 6, 2014 at 12:44
