thought i would share how to use nwipe from clonezilla live

clonezilla live (defaults)
start clonezilla live
device-image
skip
beginner
exit-to-cli
cmd

user@debian:~$ sudo -i
root@debian:~# nwipe

spacebar to select disk to wipe
m to select method of wipe (quick erase with zeros)
f10 to start
ctrl-c to quit (if you need to quit before wipe is done)
enter to exit when wipe is done

thanks steven for adding nwipe to clonezilla live!

Yes, you can enter to command line in any step to run "sudo nwipe".
This one "Enter_shell" in the beginning of TUI is OK, too:

Are you able to do a PRE_RUN script so it does an nwipe on bootup? Also can you trigger secure erase as an option?

Thanks

I believe you can use something like:
ocs_prerun="nwipe --autonuke --nogui /dev/sda1"
to do that.
Do you have any problem to use that?

Steven.
