Titolo: Agg.BIOS vecchio PC

Su un vecchio PC ho installato Puppy. Come faccio ad individuare la MB 
e il relativo BIOS (per eventualmente aggiornarlo)?
Ciao!
 

 e il relativo BIOS (per eventualmente aggiornarlo)?
 
Conosco Puppy solo di nome, mai nemmeno provata. In ogni caso tutte le 
distribuzioni che ho usato hanno sempre avuto lshw come comando per 
ottenere un inventario dell'hardware visto dal sistema operativo.
 
Lancia dalla sehll testuale il comando
 
lshw>hardware.txt
 
Se lshw è presente come comando nel tuo Puppy ti ritroverai nella home 
del tuo utente un file hardware.txt, con all'interno tutto l'hardware 
rilevato dal sistema operativo e dovrebbe esserci anche la scheda madre 
ed il BIOS. Ecco cosa contengono le prime righe del mio appena fatto:

Ciao, Guglielmo.

 operativo.
 
Dimenticato di scrivere che le stesse informazioni, molto probebilmente 
le trovi nelle prime schermate subito dopo l'avvio del PC o dentro il 
setup del BIOS, e sono indicazioni sicuramente più attendibili rispetto 
a qualsiasi altra data da un programma che funziona dentro un sistema 
operativo.

Ciao, Guglielmo.


 
 
se funziona il bios non lo toccare, dato che si tratta di un vecchio pc
č probabile che non abbia un bios di riserva, se per un qualche motivo
va male l'aggiornamento, la scheda madre diventa inutilizzabile
 
perchč cercarsi rogne? coi pc vale la regola, se funziona non tocco cose
che non possono essere ripristinate facilmente
