Hello,
I'm interested in creating a boot disk that will "Wipe" the current
hard-drive and create a single Fat32 partition. My company is selling
100 or so PC's that need to be wiped and I'm looking for the easiest
way to do that. The computers have floppy drives, Cd-Roms and I think
they support PXE boot. Would there be an easy way to install a Linux
distro at the same time? (Perhaps Multicasting / PXE boot??) Any help
is appreciated.
Boot off a live cd, then dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda ???
That would pretty much wipe out the entire disk.
Why create a fat32 partition? Just leave it trashed.
Creating partitions takes time; so does installing distros. Just give away a copy of mepis/knoppix/ubuntu/fill_in_the_blank distro.
