Hi there,

did anyone install this yet or has an alternative. I would like it because I need to install more RAM into my Acer. According to Acer's specs this is possible, but the Phoenix BIOS is not allowing for that.

Also a friend of mine wants to downgrade his Toshiba to XP (see bug #314498 - it is about wine, but it is not the fault of wine as I checked the Toshiba forum and many people have the problem; there is some gdb output, but I suspect it is garbage), but the Vista BIOS does not allow for itself to be replaced. (This thing I can possibly fix with a live XP USB stick - or FreeDos, but I could not find the mount point, go figure ...)

I tried to install it from ubuntu but got stopped for now, as I could not get the package for crossmake compiled correctly (I forgot the name). I can off course go for another java cross compiler from synaptic, but before I actually install the BIOS, I would like some feedback here if possible. Is there a precompiled version ready to flash under windows (xp or vista)?

Sorry if this thread already exists, but I cannot search for it due to bug #318115:

Unless someone wants to instruct me on how to make a bootable xp stick?
