Re: How can I refresh Etch completely?

[Jude DaShiell]

It's possible malware has corrupted that system too.  In that event, on 
another computer that can burn CD;'s download dban from freshmeat.net and 
burn the iso onto a cdr cd not a cdrw.  What dban does is to return all 
hard drives on a machine to the condition they were in before anyone had 
burnt any operating systems on them so this is a last ditch measure.  If 
you use dban at the boot: prompt type autonuke and hit enter.  If you have 
a 120GB hard drive it'll take at least 8 hours to do its work; larger 
drives take longer.  A debian system I had running got badly infected and 
I ended up having to use dban to clear the problem.
