      Description

      Similar questions have been asked before:
      https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/409/add-normal-wipe-to-pxe-boot-menu/5

      but those are old threads and I hope there are newer ‘better’ ways of doing things.

      basically I would like to be able to select a ‘Wipe’ option from the Fog Boot Menu. I’m kind of new to fog and made it to adding a menu item I called ‘fog.wipe’. But how do I configure that? Do I need to do something with DBAN like other threads talk about, or can I just use the wipe option integrated in to FOG?

      And… thinking about it… I now do wipes by assigning wipe tasks from the fog management… is there any way to see the progress? it just says ‘writing zeros’… will this take minutes, hours, days still?

      Thank you!

          Hi Tom! Always on the ball…

          I had already tried that, but couldn’t make it work. Tried it again and then it did… strange, must have done something wrong.

          Thank you!
