extract_hdr problems (cont'd from Jun 28, 2007)

Hello

I just discovered that wonderful new way of BIOS upgrading. Very cool
and thanks a lot for providing it! :-)

In this posting half a year ago:
http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/libsmbios-devel/2007-June/000308.html
John White asked about pre-extracted images for this system:

Libsmbios:    0.13.6
System ID:    0x01EC
Service Tag:  3Q9XS2J
Express Service Code: 8119160155
Product Name: Dimension C521
BIOS Version: 1.1.4
Vendor:       Dell Inc
Is Dell:      0

(NB: That is output from 'getSystemID' on my machine)

... and Michael Brown answered that the RBU bios updater does not supprt
it currently (June 2007) and there is a slight chance that support would
be added later. (Well, my hopeful interpretation of his words then...)

I just checked the list: http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bios-hdrs/
and did not find any HDRs related to the above system ID and would like
to ask whether Linux users running Dimension C521 desktops can expect
support in BIOS upgrading in the foreseeable future?

Thanks a lot!
