tools for programing?

[Niki Waibel]

quite new to all this...

just got 2 epia-m's and 2 bios saviors.

what tools do i need to flash the bios?
where do i get them?
(i'd like to flash the chips on the board...)

what do i need to activate in the kernel to
program a chip / use the flash tools?
what do i need to activate in the kernel to
boot?

I checked in the code couple weeks ago, the current flash_rom 
should work.

means that all tools necessary for flashing/programing the
bios are in the cvs of freebios?
:pserver:[e-mail]:/cvsroot/freebios

cvs.sourceforge.net seems to be VERY slow from here...

That's right.  SF has a little bit of improvement lately.
At least it is not rejecting connection.  :)
