I have a Dell PC which has very ugly and bad luck looking Alien face on every boot. I want to change it or disable it forever, but in Bios they do not have any options.

How can i change this from my linux Fedora or ArchLinux which is running now?

Tried following does not work. ( http://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/bios/ )

./flashrom -r  firmware.old   #save current flash ROM just in case
./flashrom -wv firmware.new   #write and verify new flash ROM image

Also tried:

$ cat c.c
