I've done the zeroing out thing on mounted filesystems before when I wanted to move the contents of a drive to another. zeroing out before would be best if you planned to do an install, then back it up for later. Otherwise, you end up with a lot of unused space that has remnants of old data scattered around.
Yeah, but I'm a bit confused here. How would you go about it from a LiveCD ?
Ever booted a live-CD? It also knows your disks (unless it's a server, except for maybe the CentOS LiveCD, most other's suck on servers - they simply don't recognize the controllers). Of course, dd on the device wipes everything, so you do it before installing OS+applications.
