Re: [TriLUG] a 'non-windows' method to upgrade BIOS/firmware?

[P. L. Charles Fischer]

I have used FreeDOS (http://www.freedos.org/) to update motherboard BIOSs 
(Tyan and Asus).  It is not Microsoft Windows, but if the installer needs 
DOS it seems to work.

Hi All-

I'm having a few issues with DVD burning, but before I write a novel about 
it, I'd like to try upgrading the BIOS and especially the firmware of the 
DVD writer (lite on).  All binaries available are 'for windows based 
machines', so other than installing windows and dual booting, how does one 
upgrade the BIOS/firmware using a non-'windows' method?

Thanks,
Doug
