I've made the ubuntu livecd suggested in the above guide, and it says to install the bitcoin client - does it mean the bitcoin core? I can't install and run a program that needs 145TB running in memory..
Is there a light bitcoin client that I can install on the live-cd os which does not need to download the entire chain?

Also, how do I encrypt the file in ubuntu to save it out an store it elsewhere? I'd like to make an encrypted version with a password which I can store on a dropbox account in addition to having it stored unencrypted on USB devices which will only be run as backup of the wallet.dat
