Hi;
Quoting Basil Chupin<blchupin@iinet.net.au>:
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.
Usually these *.exe files are DOS compatible so you can use Firmware Update Kit (FUK) , see http://lizards.opensuse.org/2012/01/19/fuk-the-kit-you-will-love/

Just the name of that app alone will put a bunch that post in here to get their panties in a wad and they'll be screaming and ranting and raving at the poor dev of said app to change it or else.
Perhaps some people just need to put on their big girls panties and deal with it.
