[ILUG] Possibly OT updating N900 on linux

[Conor Wynne]

Perfect,

It has now been successfully updated using my linux (RHEL6) laptop,
and a bit of faffing about with the flasher. I though it had done
nothing and then I checked the console after disconnecting the phone,
and saw the message - success... the phone itself told me none of
this!

The update seems to have improved things immensely,
Cheers mate.
