I'm pretty sure we can actually, since such a bios wouldn't be able to boot Windows, or at least some Linux distributions that go ahead and set the flag because some bioses won't boot without it. If such a bios were released, not being able to boot the de facto standard PC OS certainly would result in it being fixed very quickly. > It would be alot easier to just set it, but then what do we do if we > find out that there are others expect it to be clear? Theoretically, then you would need to add a flag to switch it off. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJPJEkzAAoJEJrBOlT6nu751JUH/15b+v1Sn0fi/JeEh7L0Op+W nPhPlLNY0PTPgEsD+b1VU1532Myi65RzbZ90exX7CZlpxWdq9XWWkQXAydrZc4XH Y9xUepLnWUbYWtiPo4aU4294DZQE8CyGu4k791iEsULypC+RJIt/RqHmdG3oawJM KnRLcHo165Rfi+Vekrhz90jdOwSTnpHvwNI/fB0WNnzMD1MwReYET+00TAFJvpnE 3vhwdAFqVUClP9cma4SmT+rsn7TVQH7UNDGngtgnxjRMZRobkkRSldc7NxdmQfc1 o1VTv7/NIj1kQrgZ2nRXHojsXUkGJsuV1ZCsCxNj2kovSjpsYiNdszOgBogV0+k= =Q88d -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
