FTR, yes, this works, however scary it may seem. :-) You switch the machine to legacy boot mode, boot from a FreeDOS flashdisk (with the BIOS update binary stored on it), run the BIOS update binary and finally switch back to UEFI+SecureBoot upon reboot. Anyway, having the Dell toolset working directly on Fedora would be definitely less of a hassle. :-) _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
