Doesn't someone make a motherboard with a socketed, replaceable BIOS ? I would think that it ought to be a standard tool for developers. A prerequisite for an open machine. Are there hiding places in the chipset too ? How closed are the chipsets ? Bob -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios@li

Well the more support people show and the more we can expand upon the idea to show Dell how it could be beneficial for them and their customers the better the chance of seeing it actually go somewhere Every comment makes a difference On 9/24/07, Corey Osgood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Carl-Dan
