I have a T42 running Ubuntu 7.10 and I would like to update the BIOS, but I can't find a way without using windows. Is there a way to do this using a bootable CD or flash drive?

BIOS Update (Diskette) - ThinkPad R50/p, R51 (1829, 1830, 1831, 1836), T40/p, T41/p, T42/p.

Notes:
- This version of the BIOS will only work with Embedded Controller Program Version 3.04 (or higher). The Embedded Controller Program (H8 controller firmware) is available in an additional package, a link is provided below.
- If you need to update the Embedded Controller Program as well as the BIOS, update the BIOS first.

Embedded Controller Program (Diskette) - ThinkPad R50/p, R51 (1829, 1830, 1831, 1836), T40/p, T41/p, T42/p.

Does this necessitate the use of a floppy drive? Because I don't have one anymore.
