[lubuntu-users] using live cd to flash a bios

[scrooyahoo at riseup.net]

Has anyone used a livecd to flash a bios?

If yes what application did you use?

And what about including that application on a livecd or OBI DE?

I have a Aspire One that doesn't boot from SD, it is an older BIOS, and 
i hope the latest BIOS saves the day. But having a tool to actually 
flash the binary to the chip would be very handy to have on a livecd.

I made an SD with ToriOS and when i put it in a USB card reader then i'm 
able to boot from it (BTW ToriOS is nice!)
So i really hope the latest BIOS supports booting from SD, that would 
save one more pocket calculator from the scrapheap.

Anyhow...
Does anyone have experience with upgrading BIOS from within GNU/Linux?
