install onto a stick or disc for server firmware upgrades.
"but the cloud..."
someone maintains that cloud, every day.
- untog 10y agoBut why not Linux in that situation? (Not to talk the project down, it's great. But I don't think anyone wants to depend on it for system recovery)
- beachstartup 10y agobecause manufacturers still provide dos .exe's for flash updates.
- tfigment 10y agoBecause shockingly the vendors still ship driver updates in dos compatible form and not linux in my experience. Last time I did BOIS/RAID driver updates, I was glad I could boot to DOS using a USB stick and not have to revert to a USB-to-floppy converter + floppy.
- djKianoosh 10y agothis.. I wanted to upgrade an old bios recently and intel only provided an exe
- swiley 10y agoI had to re-install osx on my sister's machine and the osx download and install thing in the firmware can't install osx from the cloud any more and it's only been 5 years or so!
