[Casper] Erase new HD prior to imaging

[Thomas Larkin]

here is something I whipped up really quick.  it is simple and a two
liner.  Please check this before you deploy it.  I have no way of
testing it right now but a simple script like this could help fix your
issue.

Hi again-
just to clarify:
these are brand new Intels out of the box, never booted to their own
(pre-installed 10.5) HD prior to our netbooting and Caspering.
While I haven't looked at any HDs "out of the box" I would certainly be
stunned if they were arriving with 10.5 on an APM... though I will be
exploring this at the next opportunity.
The Erase HD option in CASPER does not seem to be sufficient, but if we
use DISK Utility they go.
What is the difference?
"Erase Target Drive : If this box is checked, Casper will format the
hard drive or partition that is selected in 
Target Drive."
Why am I the only one seeing this? If most already partition for Data,
or Restore, or BootCamp, then this issue would not appear (which for
most purposes we do not do)
OR
Some other factor?
Preflight script sounds like the way to go.
Thanks!
Sandy
