According to the documentation available at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_maguro I have to use adb and fastboot which are available on fedora under android-tools. So, all of it is downloaded without a hitch, but I can not get adb or fastboot to "work". Reading on, I have tried the workarounds proposed, to no avail. It appears that I need to add my username to a group plugdev but there is no group by that name. I tried using
