Well, reading the experiences of the users here I'm quite happy my laptop manufacturer provided a bootable FreeDOS image to upgrade the BIOS. Since following that path wasn't a problem I used it.
OTOH if I was on a netbook (no optical drive) and was offered a choice between run-time Windows utility and a CD image with freedos, I'd probably explore this flashrom utility to avoid reboots.
What I want to know though - does it handle only motherboards or is it useful for CD/DVD burners/HDDs etc.? Basically, how do I "mtkflash" under Linux?
