thanks for the link but after checking the release notes a little bit on the
lenovo page for the BIOS update two things are remarkable:

1) They nowadays have a bootable CD version (most likely most people here
knew already) which enables you in theory to update without a Windows. BUT

2) That is just working with an IBM CD-drive sitting in the Thinkpads
Ultrabay, explicitly NOT (at least that is what it says) with an IBM docking
station. Can someone here explain me the sense of having such a thing for
the X-series then? On top

2*) You are not allowed to have any USB drives connected to your Thinkpad
whilst updating.

Wonderful, or?

Bye,

Johannes
