There is another way: someone is experimenting a patch to the kernel that should allow you to flash your BIOS from linux...

Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com I used freedos to flash the bios on my Laptop, The laptop has no floppy so I had to make a bootable CD with it.. worked great. For this sort of thing, I highly recommend freedos, and you get to stay right away from M$. failing that, DRDOS is pretty good for this sort of thing as well.. if I can find an image to work with. regards Franki -- Pleasea sign our petition to encourage notebook manufactures to offer video card upgrades just like desktops. http://www.petitiononline.com/inspiron/petition.html For free scripts, online webmaster tools, HTML, XHTML, Perl PHP tutorials and stuff, visit: http://htmlfixit.com, Free web developer resources.
