Is it possible to have Ubuntu 12.10 with an encrypted root partition and an encrypted home partition (using preferably the same encryption mechanism)?

This question is somewhat the same: How do I install Ubuntu with encrypted root, home, and swap partitions? But is not answered.

As I am using a dualboot setup I can not use the automatic partitioner (which doesn't support your /home on a separate disk/partition anyway). So I would have to configure some things manually.

How would I do this?
