You can. In the disc setup step, choose "Something else". Then make the
partition in question a "physical volume for encryption". This sounds like
LVM, but it isn't necessarily. It generates a new, encrypted volume, which
is at the top of the partitions list. You need to scroll up to make it
visible. Use the new, encrypted partition as the root partition. (I prefer
to encrypt all of it. If you don't, make use of it differently.)
