Deleting partitons on a hard disk - all at once

[Neil Marjoram]

Quick question,

Can anyone tell me if there is a quick way to delete all partitions on a 
hard disk? I know it's dangerous, but I would like to use a CD based 
distribution, open up a terminal and type in a simple command to delete 
all the partitions on a hard disk, or script the boot script to delete 
them for me.

This has come about due to troubles with FC4 and RHEL4 whilst doing  
reinstallation using kickstart, it seems that if partitions exist on the 
disk the kickstart will fail.

Many thanks,

Neil.
