Neither of the cgminer windows builds manages to even start up. They are complaning about libcurl.dll missing.

..Ok so Im going with ebereons dirty version, proceeding to flashing in the twintest, following the instructions in the pdf untill: Verify that the JTAG Device chain can be accessed as follows:
Type: xc3sprog c cm1 j
All 4 Array devices should be visible as above.
There not, something is wrong. Please update the guide to include what to do.Disregard this.
And whilst Yohan will undoubtably relativley soon get that done, some kind soul could point me in to the right direction. I apologize if this bit has hallready been covered in the thread, I assure you I have read it several times, but in my mind it's a swirling vortex of chaos atm and a real how-to needs to emerge.
[edit2]
Apparrentley I unchecked the device in virtualbox, it was allready checked and I removed the checkmark.

The guide says "Mount the USB Device as follows:
Type: mount t auto /dev/sdb /mnt "
This results in "mount: you must specify the filesystem type"
So, wtf do I do now... Enterpoint really needs to sort these kinks out, no point in making a guide if the odds of getting something done with it are this bad.
Looks like this is going to be a long night, but I wont be quitting untill I have atleast one valid submitted share

Pipesnake,
it should be
mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /mnt
which means mount the first partition of your device sdb.
then a
ls -l /mnt
should show you the content of your device (usb key).

Ok found the usefull bit in the thread, after quite some browsing.. we really need to organize a how to, If I get this working Im propably going to start a separate thread where we can work on the how to. I know it's not much but this is something my skillset allows me to contribute.
[edit5]
This works, but it's saying that utf8 is not a reccomended filesystem as it will be case sensitive, In hopes of getting to the how-to eventually I would like one of you mighty wizards of linux to post a spell that specifies a filesystem that wont be case sensitive.

"Type:
xc3sprog c cm1 p 0 I xc6lx150.bit shipping_test.bit " Im trying to do the permanent flash, typing this yields me a screen full of options about a software I know nothing about, of which I understand only a part of. Srsly, am I to expect a failure of some sort at every step of following your guide ?
[edit7]
Some browsing again and found this: "I have found MY problem
I don't know if it fixes your's also.
FIRST: Turn off the unit! Set the dip switches to the shipping configuration!
If you turn on the unit with other dip settings, the unit will not work! It will not work, no matter what you do.
Shipping configuration 50MHz:
SW1/6 all on
SW2 all on
SW3 134 on, 2 off
SW4 134 on, 2 off
SW5 all on"
I've now retried with 2 different swich settings, one from a pdf, one from an image in this thread. Atm it would be usefull for me to know am I even looking at an dip-swich issue here ? ...and I did power off the board in between.
[Edit8]
Yohan the capital I in your pdf in the "Type: xc3sprog c cm1 p 0 I xc6lx150.bit shipping_test.bit " looks like a lowercase L
Figuring this out gets me to a point where the response from xc3sprog is :
Using libftdi,
JEDEC: ff ff 0xff 0xff
unknown JEDEC manufacturer: ff
ISF Bitfile propably not loaded
This response is virtually instant so it's safe to say it's not working. Once again I would like input on what I am doing wrong ?
On another note, I tried running the ebereons dirty version of cgminer with the shipping bitstream, but got a response (something like) cannot mine, all devices disabled. Is this because I have virtualbox open and the device in use there, or am I looking at something different here ?

When I go to mount the USB drive in VirtualBox and use the command:
mount -t auto /dev/sdb /mnt
it returns:
mount: you must specify the file system type.
Not a linux guy so I'm sure this is supremely noobish.
mount -t auto /dev/sdb /mnt
