(I tested them on my Fedora - minus the flash, most of my Gigabyte boards are AMD based...) $ mkdir Temp $ cd Temp $ wget http://europe.giga-byte.com/FileList/BIOS/motherboard_bios_s651mprz_f8.exe ... $ WINEPREFIX=$PWD wine motherboard_bios_s651mprz_f8.exe ... $ ls autoexec.bat dosdevices drive_c FLASH891.EXE motherboard_bios_s651mprz_f8.exe s651mprz.f8 Now copy the FLASH891.EXE and s651mprz.f8 and autoexec.bat files to your freedos and floppy / USB disk / FAT partition / freedos network boot image and flash the BIOS.
