I tried it, and, unlike most other pre-boot stuff, actually worked on my
trivial test machine.

However, I found a privilege escalation vulnerability from version 4.3a
being carried over, so I heavily recommend to avoid using TrueCrypt until
it's fixed.

Nah, it also allows for some kinds of dual boot configurations. And it
compiles with much less changes. And it's far more lightweight.
