OK - I now know that the file to modify is the install.pl... but its quiet hard for a "perl newbie" to change anything in this file...
Can someone please help me out with a few lines of perl ? it is to choose between the OS-Versions and the "Harddisk wipe out" - how to make this ? The wipe command should be something like "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda..." Only 3 Persons install new PCs and we don`t have userdata on local drives, so this is not this very very scary option - it would be only a scary option... but a very usefull ! Thanks You !

It is a perl script. Honestly my perl is horrid though, so personally I would lean toward modifying my bootable cd (or PXE menu if your booting from the network) to have another option; booting to a linux image that would be scripted to wipe out the disk. By the way, this is a very scary option. One that I would NOT make available. If you really need the ability to do this I would recommend that you warn the person at the console MULTIPLE times that they are about to destroy all data on the computer, that it an irreversable process, etc, etc. I can invision users (even entry level technicians) destroying data that they actually wanted to keep.
