I am trying to update the bios in this Dell that I have just been given.

this runs but I get a crash on line 185:-

After migrating from UKFSN about 4 months ago, I went with plusnet,
depends on what you want, but the unlimited service I find is good, you
are told the throttles up front and there are no caps. Only minus side
is that now they have an 18month contract for new signups.

I am trying to swap eth0 with eth1, my onboard nic is coming up as eth0
and I need to swap it to eth1 to use with a VM'd firewall I am setting up.
I have tried :-
creating with /etc/udev/rules.d/010_netinterfaces.rules :-
KERNEL=="eth*", SYSFS{address}=="00:1D:x:xx:xx:A0", NAME="eth1"
KERNEL=="et
Ok found the problem after some further googling:-)
(Isn't it always the case, been looking all day and after I ask I find
the answer!)
The devices are reset in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
Changing this allows what I want.

The home hub is just a router with built in wreless & voip.
You just need to set your Ubuntu machine to ethernet and plug it in to
the eth1 port on the router, I assume that the router is already setup

Hi, I have set up a server with shared folders via NFS.
e.g. share point/dir1
/dir2
/[symbolic link to dir3, mounted under /mnt/dir3]
How do I share this properly? So that the client sees all 3 directories
rather than a broken link for dir3?
Thanks Ken

Try feeding the tft DIRECTLY from the sound card this will eliminate any
issues out side of the tft. If it is still low is there a volume control

Looks like your switch box is the issue, if you feed the speakers
directly do they work?

I used one very successfully on 8.04 (eee version) on my 702 with no

1. I use the dvd drive allot, I view/burn many dvd's and if it is going
to re-insert it on eject then not on.
2. I still have another 2 machines running with 8.04 (xbuntu) and 8.10
(with some issues) but this is my main pc and the issues I have had
since upgrading
Since I installed 8.10 64bit as a fresh install, when I eject a cd
(using right click eject) it immediately closed it again before I have
time to remove the cd.
Due to the high number of issues I am going to be removing it and trying
a different distro.

Ok tried everything and the system still hangs when I load the Nvidia
