Re: [coreboot] LinuxBios P6IWP-Fe

[Anders Jenbo]

The bios is only 256KB, but it is written as bit (8 bits per byte).

Not being tied to Linux is actually a good thing as it gives more flexibility an we still have the possibility to have all the benefits of having Linux in there.

I'm not sure what you are saying in the last part of you email, but if you plan to port more boards to coreboot that's grate :)

What is your native language? If you could include both the original and translated text I might be better able to understand you.
