Here is a simple command to install the yifanlu-fastboot on any debian-based linux
i386 (or and x86_64 with multiarch-support and ia32-libs installed (If wine works, then you don't need anything else, it will pull the deps)) system libusb-1.0.0 (tested on Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin LTS). It may or may not work on another linux family, but it's worth a try:
Code:
sudo wget http://www.sudoforlunch.org/fastboot -O /usr/bin/fastboot && sudo chmod -cvR a+x /usr/bin/fastboot
