I'd guess you could make a RAM disk, copy a bare-bones system, boot off it, then format the Harddrive. As soon as it's shut down, the RAM disk is gone and you'd have a completely clean system. Just better hope your buyer has a dock or at least the floppy adapter :) Scott Holder ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
