Yesterday I picked up from the store all the bits from which to create a new magical computer - which I will be so doing in the next 12 hours or so. There is an upgrade available to the BIOS on the motherboard - which the installation instructions suggest be done. However, the darn upgrade file is an *.exe file. I have "unarched" this file and it contains a *bat, an *exe and the actual BIOS upgrade file. I have never applied a BIOS upgrade while using Linux, and the last time I did apply a BIOS upgrade was some 9 years ago under XP. The question therefore is: how do I apply this BIOS upgrade when I install openSUSE (12.1)? Thanks for any hints/comments.
