A note about gplflash, I pulled down cvs and built it, but you will need libmad which I grabbed from http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/3/libmad/libmad-0.15.1b-3.1.fc3.fr.src.rpm rpmbuild --rebuild libmad* built and installed fine on rawhide 64 and I will test the plugin when i get home.
