The Traveller option does not work on Linux.
Than again, I doubt that there is a multi-OS option available.

TrueCrypt has a Traveller option that will put the necessary binaries on
the removable media and an autorun.inf file so that it will run

Subject: Re: encryption software for pendrive
I usually use TrueCrypt whenever I want to encrypt something on a
pendrive, but the problem is that you need to have TrueCrypt installed
on any computer that you want to access the encrypted files on.
Does anyone know of a free portable encryption solution?
