Dumb curiosity question re new ASUS motherboard installation.

[Arch Willingham]

I am almost positive I used that same exact motherboard with FC7. It worked like a charm. I just stuck the FC7 boot disk in, fired it and it all installed fine (using Sata disks) - I have an NFS directory on another FC7 server that contains the whole DVD image. I did not do anything funky. In my case, the CD's are good for making more junk in the local landfill.

Subject: Dumb curiosity question re new ASUS motherboard installation.


Hi;

Just installed a new ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard.  Used mkinitrd from my
Fedora rescue disk to find the hardware in order to boot to Linux
(Fedora).  I now have to figure out how to get my WindowsXP to boot.
(That's not the question; I'll figure it out or get help elsewhere)

But, the manual that came with the motherboard has setup disks etc.  The
manual warns to do the setups and BIOS upgrades from a Windows only
operating system.  My question is; what do people do who only have a
Linux OS?  Are the setup CD's only useful to Window's users?  Or, is
that warning only for liability protection?
