Re: GRUB discussion -- virgin disks ?

Note, Jacques, that /dev/null doesn't do anything useful here:-)


Sorry, thanks for pointing that out. It should have been /dev/zero in
order to fill it with \x00's.

/dev/zero provides the null character \x00, whereas /dev/null is used
as the bit bucket to send unwanted data to the binary Gods (i.e. ls
*.sh *.txt *.gzip 2>/dev/null
to redirect errors to the bit bucket thus only seeing successful
output to the screen).
