Hi

After having managed to do an instal on my Toshiba Satellite laptop using 9atom.iso and mucking around for a while (presumably corrupting some things in the process), I'd like to start over from scratch. I.e. totally from scratch as though there had never been any Plan9 on there in the first place.

I've tried various things, such as deleting partitions, reinstalling windows and then reinstalling plan9... but I always seem to end up with some residual stuff (e.g. the users I created the last time around are still there...!)

What would be the fastest and easiest way to accomplish this? Presumably by booting directly from the 9atom disc, and then....?

Many thanks,

K
