(Get the code!)
Martin and all,
the url's below should be read in conjunction with #337; they underline and support ....'the BIOS pre-configuration of pc has always been less than desirable as far as linux is concerned.' ....
http://

'Changing role of the BIOS' heading on the second url is quite revealing. I cite Linus' words from second url ....'To quote Linus Torvalds, the task of BIOS is "just load the OS and get the hell out of there".'.....
linux inventor Linus Torvalds said it all - no more comments necessary - the BIOS is v v old stuff. apparently the os for pay wants to 'enhance it' and sneak into BIOS SLIC all kinds of keys to force the user in using ONLY the for pay os and, by doing that, it is basically controlling user's pc and identity. is that fair and correct ?
