[olpc-help] Data wipe prior to donation

[Steve Holton]

See

In a nutshell, use the Terminal activity to delete the networks.cfg file and
the association with the wireless access point goes with it. This file
includes things like known nodes and saved passwords.

rm /home/olpc/.sugar/default/nm/networks.cfg

For a complete wipeout clean install, you'll need an external USB disk.

Write back if you need step-by-step instructions.
