Which . . . being translated from the original Klingon
means ???? in practical terms for ignorant laymen ???
I have an ACER NET BOOK ASPIRE with Linux and only a FLASH DRIVE—no CD drive in the machine.
What this program does is it allows Linux desktop/server users to flash their system bios-es while up and running, which is more convenient than booting into a DOS floppy, etc. You probably still need to reboot immediately, but you can do it from your “desktop”.
Oh, and from the post...
“At this time, Flashrom is CLI-based with no GUI, but the options are simple to backup a BIOS image, erase a BIOS chip, and to flash the BIOS with a new image.”
But this can still be done while you computer is in operation.
This means it’ll be easier for you to update your BIOS if necessary.
