Hi,

I'm facing a little problem. I have a R50 with only a Debian/Sid on it
(no more predesktop area).

What do I have to do in order to install bios updates ?=20

1) is it possible to get the .exe bios updates from the site transferred
on a bootable CD (even if I need to use another windows computer) ?

2) or do I need to reinstall XP on my laptop ?

Subsequent question : as I do not have any predesktop area, I asked the
recory cd's to IBM... It seems that recovery cd's does repartition all
the disk and not only offer the ability to reinstall XP on specific
partition. Am I right ?

Thanks in advance for any help
