Changing timeout time for mounting encrypted partitions on Mandriva

If you have an encrypted partition in Mandriva 2007, by default on boot-up the system gives you only 5 seconds to say you want to mount it on boot-up, which can be very easy to miss. If you edit the /etc/sysconfig/autofsck file to change the AUTOFSCK_CRYPTO_TIMEOUT= variable to something longer (such as 45) it will give you plenty of time.
