<div dir="ltr">I have never updated BIOS using Linux, sometimes I did with Windows.

My experience with upgrading BIOS from GNU/Linux is NO.<br>
FreeDOS can sometimes run the executable and work well.<br>
Usually what I do before installing GNU/Linux is to upgrade the BIOS.<br>
So if you have a Windows CD install windows, upgrade BIOS, and then install GNU/Linux.<br>
<br>
Someone else may have some experience doing it, but the last BIOS update I did was quite some time ago.<br>
<br>
p.s. thanks I am glad you like ToriOS, me too!<span class=""><br>

Has anyone used a livecd to flash a bios?<br>
<br>
If yes what application did you use?<br>
<br>
And what about including that application on a livecd or OBI DE?<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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!)<br>
So i really hope the latest BIOS supports booting from SD, that would save one more pocket calculator from the scrapheap.<br>
<br>
Anyhow...<br>
Does anyone have experience with upgrading BIOS from within GNU/Linux?<br>
