<b></b>I ran the Apt instruction from the Downloads site and it

I think developers in general mean building the source into a binary
yourself.<br>
Besides Idwer's DOS-binary [ flashrom.exe ,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://khepri.coresystems.de/~idwer/flashrom/latest/">http://khepri.coresystems.de/~idwer/flashrom/latest/</a> ] I'm not aware
of any binaries/packages with very recent versions of Flashrom
program.<br>
<br>
The PartedMagic LiveCD (downloadable as ISO from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://partedmagic.com/doku.php">http://partedmagic.com/doku.php</a> ) seems to use flashrom revision
1323 (while yours is 1028).<br>
<br>
General issue is that developers like people to report with very
recent versions instead of outdated bundled versions, due to
improvements made meanwhile.<br>
<br>
Your options are 1 or more of below:<br>
* find a new flashrom binary<br>
* find a new flashrom binary package (.deb/.rpm? my Linux knowledge
is near non-existing) for your distro<br>
* download a tar-file or so, followed by compiling<br>
* check out the source (CVS, SVN, GIT, no idea) followed by
compiling (preferred by developers).<br>
<br>
Ofcourse if flashrom developers have snapshots for download or
complete binary packages in their own repository it might make life
a lot easier.<br>
<br>
For now I suggest the PartedMagic liveCD (which isn't very VMware
friendly unfortunately, but that's offtopic).<br>
