How to turn on FileVault

In 10.3 I have security with the filevault icon in the system prefs, however I don't see an option to encrypt my home directory.



Any developers out there care to explain it more in detail and how to activate it.



Thanks.

    Does file vault only work with your Home folder? I think that's what Steve said. Why?

    Because that's all most people are concerned with protecting?



    Most people aren't going to be concerned about encrypting some *other* user's files... or /System... or /Library...
