[PS. I coudn’t resist. I just had to name the package ‘*Kit’. 😉 ]
Need to do a firmware update with a DOS program?
Can get tricky if you don’t have a DOS system around. We used to provide a bootable floppy image for that in the past (package dosbootdisk). But who has a floppy drive anyway?
So, here comes the new
FirmwareUpdateKit package. Install it and run run, e.g. fuk --grub foobar.exe That’s it. The next reboot gives you the option to start DOS and run foobar.exe.
fuk can also create bootable ISOs and, of course, even floppy images.
Both comments and pings are currently closed.
great! So far i used for that an unused (because nowadays to small) usb-stick …
Have you seen ‘biosdisk’, a project by Dell? It sounds similar. http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#biosdisk.
Yes, I was sure there must be similar projects out there. But this is just
a ~200 lines spin-off of my
mdt
project. One of the IMO valid reasons to program first and google later. 🙂
Would it be safe to FUK a t60p with this application? 🙂
He he, no trick questions. 😉
