would anyone be interested in a simple shell script that automates and guides you through the N900 flashing process one step at a time? I've started already but I want to know if it's of any use to anybody before I continue. What I mean is it asks you simple questions like

Which firmware do you wish to flash?
1) 1.1
2) 1.2
3) 1.3

Select one of the available regional firmware for your selected PR version.
1) China
2) US
3) Global
...

Do you wish to delete all user data on the phone too?

are you sure?

then performs the rest for you.

so would anyone be interested in this? Also is it even possible to pull the relevant firmware with wget or is there no way without the agreement and IMEI input of the firmware images webpage?
