a locked startup disk is not a good idea, if it is even possible. Most applications setup scratch space on the startup volume.

And it is this sort of scratch space which the user does not want to have on the unencrypted partition. Unless the _system_ requires writable area on the startup volume there is no disadvantage to locking that volume. Once the system is up and running use alias folders in the system folder for those apps which are inconsiderate enough not to ask you where they will be creating temp space. jim
