I am using DBAN to wipe some of our hard drives, but I want to speed up and simplify the process.Is it possible to modify the files in a manner that the 'autonuke' process runs automatically when booted?I assume this is possible as I have been poking around and found all sorts of config files, but I am not fantastic with this sort of thing.

Yes it is possible. You can modify the ISOLINUX.CFG file in the ISO image to achieve this. Basicly all you have to do is change PROMPT setting to zero like:PROMPT 0It will automatically continue to do wipe, when booted from CD/DVD.You can also change the mode, which is selected automatically on boot, by changing the DEFAULT setting on the same file. To be sure that the disk will be wiped you can set it to autonuke like this:DEFAULT autonukeAfter you have made such disk, make sure that you label it accordingly,so no one will accidentally wipe their HD.
