Question : How to do a bulk delete without growing transaction log?

We are trying to delete the contents of a large table quickly and without growing the transaction log (substantially).

DELETE FROM TableName -- Issues one delete per row, huge transaction log, really slow.
TRUNCATE TableName -- You can only do this if the table is not referenced by other tables.

Any other ideas?  

I'd like to see a simple query that deletes in batches of one million and gets all the records.  Any idas?

We have both SQL 2000 and SQL 2008.

disable the indexes on the table first

ALTER INDEX IndexName ON tableName DISABLE

while 1 = 1
begin

delete top ( 10000 )
from tablename
where Someconition
 
if @@rowcount = 0 BREAK

end

ALTER INDEX IndexName ON tableName enable
GO

ALTER INDEX IndexName ON tbMessages REBUILD
GO
