Hay, umm, wow that'll be handy next time :-)

Hmm. Although there is one small thing:
The file from the web site says it's BIOS version 1.5.0 when you run it, as 
does the web page on dell.com (and as does my SC440 when it boots :-)), 
whereas the yum packages say it's BIOS version 1.0.5, which makes it look 
older.
