You have to load an entire full-blown Windows install just to update the microcode in the SCSI raid controller. I saw they had done this the last time I setup a Compaq server and nearly barfed. You can still firmware update the machines' BIOS with a bootable floppy but that's it. To get anything else, helo Windows! At least you get the satisfaction of scratching it off once you've done the update. Ted -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
