I have two questions: I have a system with a BIOS date of 8/2007. It works, runs, but I believe a BIOS update would let the onboard SATA controller work better. I am nervous about running a BIOS upgrade though. The mobo is from MicroStar Int'l (MSI). Anyone know how to safely a) find the correct upgrade image, and b) apply it, on a system running Linux.
My other question is about installing in this case Ultimate Ubuntu 2.0. The package to install could be ANYTHING, so it's not about the package, but about installation. I'd like to install this package on this same system, and then have GRUB allow me to pick which version at boot time. Do I just run the install and carve up the drive, partition it for space for the two versions? Should I set up a separate partition for data to share between the two versions?
