Hi Lou,
We're a little unsure what you're asking for here; If you're
installing a new OS on the machine, the installation process should, in
general, at least have an option for removing everything on the disk.
There might be some cases, such as installing non-Athena Linux over top
of a Linux-Athena installation, where the installer will ask if it
should preserve the current contents of the disk, but you should be able
to tell it "no".
Is there a specific situation you're thinking of that can help
us understand more of what you're asking for?
Garry
