Yes, a simple script.

Code:

echo "clean /Volumes/Windows"

echo "Script accepts/requires only one argument, the directory to be cleaned"

Copy and paste the above into a file named clean, move it to /usr/bin/ and make it executable.

i.e.

Open a terminal and type

Code:

sudo vi /usr/bin/clean

hit 'i' to insert, then copy and paste the script, now hit escape, then shift+zz to save and make it executable with

Code:

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/clean

Before you log out just run it on the partition you want cleaned.

As far as what distro to use, there is no reason to use a "distro" anymore... use retail.

Edit -

Before anyone goes there...

There's no reason to run a "distro" anymore beyond figuring out what kexts you need and setting up your drive is what I meant.
