I don't quite comprehend this...it's a special BIOS for people that want to use just Linux? Or is it a plain BIOS with the sole difference that you can flash it from within Linux? Either way, it makes no sense to meAll work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

This IS still nice though, means that you don't have to reboot to flash the bios twice... Just once, of course to utilize the Bios. Does this include the LogoFix utility as well? (and hopefully, this means a new driver soon.....)
LeechWah! Wah!
In a perfect world... spammers would get caught, go to jail, and share a cell with many men who have enlarged their penises, taken Viagra and are looking for a new relationship.

Flashing the bios twice

oops, Yeah, that's what I meant. Damn chemicals at work are rotting my brain, what can I say.....
You don't have to reboot twice, just download the bios utilities under linux, flash it and then reboot..... Just ONE reboot, rather than downloading the DOS version of it, running it in DOS and flashing it, then reboot again to go back to linux..
I don't know if I'd trust flashing a bios under FreeDOS or a Dos emulator or anything, that's for sure.
