Installing Truecrypt 5 on Fedora Core X86_64

This is a *VERY* short guide how to install Truecrypt 5.0 on Fedora Core x86_64. I installed TC on FC8, but this guide *should* work on any FC platform.

1) Download .deb -package (originally made for Ubuntu):
http://rapidshare.com/files/89758961/truecrypt_5.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb.html

2) Extract file with archive manager >> you get two different .tar.gz -files

3) Extract data.tar.gz to the root of your system.

4) start truecrypt from location /usr/sbin/truecrypt

If you are using i386 -version of Fedora Core, you can download Ubuntu packet from TC's homepage and use it to install Truecrypt on your FC.
