*Hi Stephan*
Thanks for the reply. And sorry about the mix-up!!
I have now downloaded 'flashrom-0.9.3.tar.bz2' and the GPG Sig File (as a text file). They are in my 'Downloads' Folder.
Am I correct to say that I should now create a Folder called' /flashrom' move the two files into it, unpack the 'bz2' file and then run -
$*svn co svn://coreboot.org/flashrom/trunk flashrom* $*cd flashrom* $*make* $*sudo make install*
I would then run the 'flashrom -V' again and sent the output to you?
Thanks.

I appreciate your help!!
I ran the Apt instruction from the Downloads site and it came back and told me I had the latest version loaded.
hello again.
yes, many debian-based distributions do not ship a current version of flashrom, hence you have to compile it yourself from source. else you risk ruining your board. you don't want to follow the "Installation of binary packages" section but "Installation from source".
if you don't understand what the section "Installation from source" at http://flashrom.org/Downloads means, you can try downloading the debian package from http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/flashrom, but that might not work on linux mint and is not recommended. if you can't get a current flashrom version to work on your computer i recommend using the vendor tools instead of using the old version linux mint provides. your log shows that 0.9.2 will probably not work.
