[Gllug] Encrypted Partition query

Hi All,

I have an encrypted partition on my laptop (for obvious reasons) but find that 
I am often rebooting because I miss the passphrase prompt at boot.

Does anyone know if it's viable to have the passphrase on a USB stick, in such 
a way that if the stuck is inserted at boot the key is picked up from there, 
and only if the stick is not present then the user is prompted for the 
passphrase?

Cheers for any ideas

Dylan
