It's much easier to do it at install time, but remember that you'll need to 
enter the key for each encrypted partition each time the machine boots - I 
have the /home partition on my laptop encrypted, but not the system itself (I 
used to, but entering two keys was a PITA and then there were troubles when 
it came time to use a boot disk for maintenance ...)
