Thank you for this section. I could not find anything in the manual apart from the floppy technique. I don't have a floppy, not because of the $10 it costs to buy them but because I don't trust them when they are only used for emergencies. I find they fill up with dust and fluff and dirt and then don't work on the rare times you need them - such as a flash. Anyhow, I made myself a bootable CD and it all worked going from F4 to F8 (I had destroyed the BIOS, so I needed to flash). The next time I found this guide and it was so much easier to just use a USB stick from F8 to F9. I got to use it a second time moving to F10g beta - which works well BTW, and I will now make a bootable USB for next time. The only comment on the instructions is that I don't recall needing to manually extract anything with winrar, I think the current .exe downloads automatically extract, so it is even easier than your instructions.
