OK, alright already, I'll just ignore the fact that you top posted.

I am in no mood to....oh, never mind....I just have to relax some after 
days of not getting anywhere....Apologies...Pax...... :-) .

Firstly, thanks for your response.

Secondly, the only way I can download the file to be flashed is with 
Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.1 or with 10.04 (or even Meerkat if I decide to waste 
more time, nerves, and patience....)

OK, I did that (used 10.04.1). But now I have to transfer it to a floppy 
to be able to have the BIOS flash it.

OK so far? :-) .

But this is where the bug in the ointment comes in..... :'( .
