Just to ensure that you have made your decisions based on good information, |
| 9 |
I wanted to clarify something about bios. Vendors often release newer or |
| 10 |
updated bios codes very spedicfic to a particular motherboard. These updated |
| 11 |
bios offerings, if they exist, may or many not allow you to boot and use GPT |
| 12 |
(EFI) etc. |

Neil pointed out an option I'm not familiar with. Another option is to use |
| 15 |
linuxbios (now called coreboot)[1]. If you do decide to try coreboot |
| 16 |
to upgrade your bios, do your own research and find out if it is a valid |
| 17 |
(possible) solution for you [2]. |

I mention this to complete and clarify the information I gave you, as |
| 20 |
best as I can. Coreboot is an excellent project that is 'good to know' |
| 21 |
knowledge, even if you choose otherwise. |
