FlashROM.org needs pciutils-dev

SliTaz is absolutely cool.

I cannot believe how cool.

Anyway I hit a package conundrum in the

live CD world: flashrom.org is not an

available package like in some other

distros...understandably, but read on...

The issue is that SliTaz can't *build*

flashrom, either. A required dep is not

in the SliTaz repos.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/pciutils-dev

Now SliTaz *has* pciutils, but *not* pciutils-dev,

i.e. pci source headers.

Adding prebuilt flashrom to the repos

would also be good.

SliTaz makes older PCs sing, and

many could run coreboot.org payloads

burned by flashrom into the BIOS. In fact

SliTaz kernels could be explored as a

BIOS option! One coreboot.org payload

is a Linux kernel. (I've never tried it.)

Thanks team!

Re: FlashROM.org needs pciutils-dev

Cooking has pciutils-dev : http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?pkg=pciutils-dev

And now undigest has flashrom :^) : http://cook.slitaz.org/undigest/cooker.cgi?pkg=flashrom
