Just my 2 Cents but here it goes. Here is a Tutorial with links and a slide show on how to perform the update in mass on mulitple servers of different Hardware one at a time with only 2 DVDs. It inlcudes links to ISOs and tools that you will need.

It’s not working on Vostro V130, Ubuntu 10.04, BIOS vA03
Bios version A05 is already available as .exe, but is not seen in bios-hdrs folder.

Thank you very much.

Works like a charm on Ubuntu 10.04 on a Dell 2850.
