Once you figure out how to do it, it's all fairly easy. The problem is that the information is buried in a pile of, well, you know. I don't doubt that wiping my hard drive, which as I understand it, cannot be done while the computer is using that drive, is possible from win. Maybe some version of super DOS that will boot from the USB and format a large capacity drive. But for some reason Ubuntu allows a hard drive format from the USB boot prior to install. The same with this "public" user, it's all really simple, now. When some one buys this computer they can add their account, no problem. Now I just have to figure out the ASUS specific bluetooth drivers and BIOS that has to be set and installed for this particular machine, touchscreen, hard disk drive protection, etc. I like the ideal of being able to bring my computer back to life after a possible infection or to just remove junk, like a spring cleaning. I've done this before and didn't have these problems so it might be something in the newer iso. file or an update from MS.
