Format harddrive with DSL

Hello, I was wonering if there was an easy way to format a harddrive
with damn small linux, preferably gui, but I'm not afraid of the
command line, or if theres a general linux command, that works too.
(By format I don't mean go through and fille with 0x00, but actually
format with ext2 etc, I'd also like to encrypt it)

thanks in advance
-Jeff
