I'm Installing Slackware 14.2 on a MSI X99A motherboard with a 6-core i7 and 64G of memory. I have a DVD that came with the motherboard, &quot;Intel Motherboards / Drivers &amp;&nbsp;Utilities.&quot; I'd like to run an update on the BIOS but the DVD appears to be strictly for Windows. I have no Windows partition. I do have a Windows VM running on this setup.<br />
<br />
This link: <a href="http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...nux_bios&num=1" rel="ugc">http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...nux_bios&num=1</a>&nbsp;seems to indicate that I can updated the bios from Linux. Unfortunately, the author just writes, &quot;hooray! I can update the BIOS from Linux!&quot;, but doesn't tell where to get the utility (that I can tell) nor how to install/use it. <br />

Is there a way to update this MB BIOS from Linux?

Need BIOS update Linux for MSI X99A motherboard.

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
