bios update

[Sebastian <sebas0@xxxxxxxxx>]

Apologies if this has been discussed, I couldn't find it.

I have a single boot FC14 system on a Dell precision M6500 precision notebook and wish to update the BIOS.

I go to the Dell download site, and for my machine select the closest match to my operating system: RH Enterprise Linux 5.

This gives me the only option to download an EXE file: "M6500A06.EXE"

Is it possible to update my bios with this file given my current installation?

I have windows Virtual Box under FC14, or,

Do I need to delete my installation, install windows and reinstall?

As I really don't want to do this, a final option to consider: could I install windows via a USB drive (so as to not destroy my current system) and then install bios? 

Here is the link to the driver?

thanks for any help,

Sebastian
