direct2dell.com — I've published firmware-tools deb packages, and the latest system BIOS images for 223 Dell system types, into a new repository on linux.dell.com. Please see the instructions for how to use them. In a nutshell, for Ubuntu systems with 7.04 Feisty, 7.10 Gutsy, or Hardy

If you're ever in doubt of a command you can simply "man wget" to see what the switches mean. In this case -q means quiet and -O outputs a file.

Is there a firmware for the Inspiron 2650?And maybe unlock HT support?(cat /proc/cpuinfo shows the ht flag)

That's what I'm thinking. Especially where it says "A reboot is required for the flash to actually happen."Um, I want to know if the damn thing worked BEFORE I reboot, because if it didn't, my mobo is dead. Seems really shady. Especially with the comments that some folk said down below about piping outputs into bash without knowing what it's doing. The whole thing just makes me uncomfortable.

Do:wget -q -O - <a class="user" href="http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bootstrap.cgi">http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bootstrap.cgi</a> > untrusted-script.shless untrusted-script.shAnd see what it does. But yes, the way they put it in the instructions was awful.
