[02:03] <The_Letter_M> Hello
[02:07] <sn9> hi
[02:10] <The_Letter_M> How is everyone today?
[02:11] <The_Letter_M> I have a question
[02:11] <The_Letter_M> I have a nettop (as in Atom processor w/ no CDROM or Floppy drive) running Kubuntu, I need to flash the BIOS. Is there a way to do it directly from Kubuntu, or is there a good way I can do it from a USB stick?
[02:11] <seidos> i flashed a bios from a bootable cd, not a usb stick The_Letter_M
[02:12] <The_Letter_M> Did you use like a BartPE boot CD?
[02:12] <seidos> so, i guess it depends on whether your bios manufacturer has a tool that lets you create a usb stick with the update tool on it?
[02:12] <seidos> The_Letter_M: no, there was a tool to burn a cd
[02:13] <seidos> i think it was an iso, sorry, it was awhile ago that i did it
[02:13] <The_Letter_M> oh
[02:14] <seidos> it must have been an iso, if there is an iso on your bios manufacturer's website, you can use "dd" to copy it to usb stick
[02:14] <seidos> dd if=isofile-path of=/dev/sd?
