How to format Mac OS X?

[Basar]

I am selling my Mac so I need to format it somehow, but I don't have a disc for OS X. What do I do? I just want to clean all my information, pics, videos, files, before I sell it. Thanks.

If you don't have the disk, you are just going to have to delete all of your files and preference files manually.

If you did not promise the seller a copy of OS X, it is possible to wipe clean the drive. Google for DBAN for PowerPC. It is a piece of software that securely erases your hard disk.

Should just be able to drag your home folder to the trash while logged in as a new user.

can't you just create a new admin account and use that to remove your old account in the users preference pane? You'll get a dialog asking if you want to archive the old account. Just say no.
