Can the unattend installation delete all partitions?

[Jason]

When deploying W2k via the unattended installation with
answer files, can you have the installation automatically
delete all partitions and just make 1 then install on it?

We are looking to deploy W2k to about 60 desktops that
range from w95 all the way up to NT4. And they all have 3
partitions on one physical drive.

Having unattend automatically delete all the partitions
and create one with ntfs to install on would save alot of
time.
Can this be done? Somewhere in the setup file?

Thanks in advance....
Jason

It sure can. What you need is the line called

Repartition=Yes. This will destroy the entire drive and
1 NTFS partition. It is near the top of the file, look
in the help for unattended installs.
