just an update. That trick does not work on the Banana PI. Going about that in a different way. Going to load up rasperian for the Banana and just run it in command line mode then try to install the Minera on it. I may or may not get it going as I'm about as far from a Linux guru as someone can be. But I'm also stubborn as hell and hardware and software will bend to my will! Has anyone else got Minera running on a Banana?
