Where can I get updates for GA-7NNXP? I've tried
http://uk.giga-byte.com/ but the only downloads I can find are MS
executables.

The .exe is just an archive. Uncompress it using your favorite Linux
tool, and you'll get the binary update.

Should have also mentioned.... if your MB doesn't have Q-Flash you won't
be able to update the BIOS from the BIOS screen, and you'll need a DOS
boot disk. Crude, I know, but easy enough to do.

Get a DOS boot diskette together and stick the BIOS update on that way.
