I contacted HP Support and they can't get the BIOS update link work

What exactly they told you?
BTW, will you release a new PBI CE soon? I'm curious to try the isight thing (or can you link me to how to do it, please?).

Thanks!

Thanks to all for the great job you do every day

Wow, I didn't expect my 6460B to get any new BIOS updates, but looks like HP has a really good support for their products.

Thanks for the information, I wouldn't know about it without your thread.

No problem guys. It's like a "call of duty" for me.

Thanks to you too!

Isn't that just a cosmetic thing? I'm not sure whether it is worth a new PBI release... The last one was published like 4 days ago?

Also - I have to install Windows just for the sake of updating BIOS. :banghead:

The smallest usb stick I have is 8GB so that won't work...

You are right bro! Maybe I seemed a little anxious..

BTW, I was just asking this: "If he have enough new things to make a new PBI or if he can link me to how to do it"

For the BIOS update thing, we still need windows :banghead:

. Maybe virtualized is enough.

P.S. I used a 2GB USB, I don't know if with an 8GB will work.

Unlikely. Not recommended.

Its possible in linux/wine, but long winded, far easier to create usb on friends laptop, luckily not something that needs doing every month.

No, I assumed you hadn't either, I was going to mail you to ask...

I was a couple of revisions behind, and was able to download F.46.

F.50 download link still directs to the language page...
