RE: Erase flash: before copying?

The quiet option makes it work the way I want it to by the looks of it -
thanks Nick! Now it doesn't prompt me to erase the flash (and have me
accidentally erase my IOS when impatiently mashing enter ;-( ) and saves my
template config. I'm curious to see what happens if the option survives "wr
erase" I'll know when I finish off the lab I'm working on.

It's not a space issue - the routers are identical models with identical
flash size and IOS images and all have the same free space.

Cheers all!

From experience older combinations of IOS/HW ask for that, while newer do
not.
It might be something from an old era of operating with flash fs (e.g. on
2500 you had to change confreg to be able to write to flash)

But this is only suspicion, there might be some parameter like Nick pointed
out, but I'm not sure if it's prompting that's the problem, because what
will be the default response if it's "quiet"?
