[osflash] Addendum: Linux-based Flash and G1

[Glen Pike]

Hi,

    An rpm is "packaged" installable file to be used with the rpm 
program that comes with some linux distro's  I think RPM means "Red Hat 
Package Manager" so guessing that RH / Fedora have it, maybe some others.

    To use rpm files you need to have a command line and do something like:

    $ rpm -i mydownloadedpackage.rpm
