I'm not sure if he is wanting to just use this to wipe the drive and |
| 24 |
then be done with it or what but couldn't he just put the Gentoo CD |
| 25 |
image on the stick and boot that up? Would that work? It has the dd |
| 26 |
command I think and would most likely recognize his hardware as well. |

Just thinking. I been into a lot lately and only vaguely recall the |

purpose of this. |
