Can you actually put OPERATING instructions at the page....<br>

PLEASE!!! all the instruction links lead to that useless page, where<br>
there is only a glossary of commands and descriptions of their functions<br>
That is already included clearly within the TEXT file "flashrom.8"<br>
within the program (no need to regurgitate it under the guise of<br>
instructions)<br></blockquote><div><br>What are the improvements you propose :) ?<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
I cant get the utility to load or run, I can't tell if the download even<br>
worked properly.
