Question : Problem: Reformat a hard drive

I have an old AT&T 486 laptop computer that I'm trying to sell.  I want to clear out all of the miscellaneous programs and start fresh.  It's not a big deal to reformat the hard drive.  However, I've forgotten what I need to do.

How do I go about reformatting my hard drive?  What info (disks) do I need to have, and what commands do I use (format, fdisk, etc.)?
