hi Darmawan,
a decent flashing software is badly in need. otherwise there is only UNIFLASH, a DOS turbo pascal 7 program, which is not covering some recent hardware and die PCI Expansion ROM support is patchy. It may also make sense to make a knoppix liveimage with full LinuxBIOS integration to allow legacy mainbios modification under Linux with flashrom. --Q
I second using UNIFLASH. A person can easily create a FreeDOS boot cdrom incorporating UNIFLASH or booting UNIFLASH on another cdrom media.
However, I agree about incorporating flashrom into knoppix or, my favorite, SystemRescueCD (it's Gentoo based ;-).
I don't know if Knoppix will integrate as it's more of a candy coated cdrom, but I can almost guarentee the maintainer of SystemRescueCD would integrate flashrom. To ease integration, I was thinking about creating an ebuild for LinuxBIOS or just Flashrom.
