Currently I wish to use Aurora to wipe an old sparc server which used to serve 
LDAP.

As of right now I'm going to use /dev/random.  I was wondering, does aurora 
provide a "Live" cd build and do you recommend a process for wiping drives 
other than using /dev/random and /dev/zero with dd?  Normally I would use DBAN 
but I can't find a sparc iso of DBAN.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions,
SAM
