Help!!! Windows partitions getting clobbered!!!....

[dan]

Ken -

As I understand it (and as would make syntactical sense) this would do 
exactly that.  Clear all partitions on this specific drive.  For reasons 
out of my control *grumble* work forbids it at this moment *grumble*, 
I'm not able to take a gander at the RH Kickstart guide at the moment - 
but I would imagine that this is correct.

Hope that helps
