Got a dell laptop, trying to upgrade/flash the bios. the delll is a
inspiron n7010. the system id 0x0457/ bios version A04.
Can't seem to find the correct hearders/rpm on the dell tech support
site/system to do this with yum/linux.
Dell does provide (of course) the straight exe to run from a windows 7
(x64) system. Nope, I don't have the original disks with the system
that had/have the windows 7 OS.. and yeah, trying to get that from
dell, is a pain!!
If anyone has a spare lapdrive that I can install the windows 7 on,
and boot from, I can then download the bios exe.. flash the bios and
keep rolling..
