no, we reprogram machines all the time without yanking the flash or inserting ZIF. We just reprogrammed linuxbios on a 1024-node cluster, for example, and we did not yank any parts. BUT, you'd better have a working linuxbios for that system! You have to test it on a development system. > Do I really need to remove the normal BIOS from a machine, insert a ZIF > socket, etc.? No, but the FLASH process will replace that BIOS with linuxbios. Sorry about your Dell, but Dell has been very unwilling to help, so I don't think it will work. ron _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
