You might want to try one of the Knoppix or other "rescue/live" CDs instead of upgrading your kernel. If the wipe tools are available, or if you can access them from the hard drive, this would allow you to wipe and reformat the drive without having to mess up a working system to do so... :-) -Ben >-----Original Message Snippet from Eric Richardson----- This makes sense so perhaps I should look at the 2.6 kernel that supports the AFS+ before wipe(ing) the drive. Or just use the drive as I'm not too paranoid.
