I typically start the Redhat install,  get the the part where I can choose disk
duid or fdisk,  and use fdisk to remove all the partitions,  save the cahnges
and hit the reset button.  THe easiest way to clean a system,  I've had (for
some reason) DOS fdisk refuse to remove Linux partitions because it thoiught
they contains logical drives,  but would not list the logical drives so I
counld delete them.
