| CarlFK | I have 6 used boxes - need to wipe the drives ( dd /dev/zero is fine) and install - does the installer have something to make this easy? | 16:13 |
|---|---|---|
| tsimpson | CarlFK: do you really need to wipe the drives? you could just remove all partitions and start over | 18:10 |
| tsimpson | unless, I suppose, you're selling the boxes after | 18:11 |
| CarlFK | tsimpson: worse: being donated to a hacker space :) | 18:11 |
| CarlFK | and mainly because I promised I would. and wondering what's available | 18:12 |
| tsimpson | ah, well I don't think the installer has a "burn my disk" option | 18:12 |
| tsimpson | I don't even remember seeing that on the alternate installer | 18:12 |
| tsimpson | CarlFK: it does have an "Erase and use the entire disk" option, but I think that just deletes the partition table | 18:16 |
| CarlFK | I use the alt - I'll hit a console right before the setup partition step and see what is there. guessing dd | 18:17 |
