Thanx for any insites. --- Andor Demarteau [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have done this several times here. I have found that the absolute BEST way is to visit the homepage of your MOTHERBOARD (not Award) and get the proper files from their tech support section. They usually have excellent instructions on just how to do the upgrade. The reason for this is that each motherboard mfg. will apply certain custom tweaks to their BIOS that they order from AWARD, and they will be the ones to have the latest and greatest changes to make their motherboards work properly. Most of the times I have done this, the files were under the tech support / downloads sections. READ, COPY, and RE-READ the install instruction carefully! You can really mess up the MB, if you don't follow the directions!! You generally have to d/l two files. The first is the new BIOS image, and the second is an Awardflash utility program that actually does the install of the image file. Also, it is important that you bootup into a minimal MSDOS environment (no extra drivers, extended memory enabled, etc). It is important since the flash program will use most of the available memory below 640K. I have found here that the minmal dos selection on the WIN ME rescue floppy will give the proper environment. Earlier versions of Windows were quite difficult to get going...you essentially had to make a system disk and copy over the two files mentioned previouslyand ONLY those files! I don't know of any way to do this under Linux, although I would be quite happy to learn how if someone else knows.

offtopic: OCR on linux
dear debian-users, (debian-user subscribers please answer privately as well). Does anyone have any good ocr-package for Linux which gives very good results on all kinds of texts including the somewhat worse cases like badly printed manuals and newspaper-articles. At this moment I'm relying on a windoz package for which I have to reboot constantly. --- Andor Demarteau [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---

HP DeskJet 600 (please reply private)
hi debian users, does any of you have a HP DescJet 600? If so, I'm interrested in printcap files and which printer packages you have installed (i.e. lprng magicfilter e.d.). I'm also interested in the fact if and as specially (cause if I think is possible) how to print color-pages with this type of printer. I got a color-incholder with it when I bought it, but when I replace the black/white holder with the color one, no color image was printed. Any help would be very welcome.
