To make this very easy what could happen is one person does it.  Then make an image of the SD card anyone can download.

If a image was provided and could be put to card it would be more "dummie" proof for lack of better term. 

I could do that, but it would be a 2 GB download (compressed). Also I'm not the Minera developer, so that would feel a bit odd.

Probably better would be for Minera to include cgminer-gekko as a built-in option for an upcoming release. Also updating to bfgminer 5.3.0 would be nice (once the kinks there are ironed out). That way Minera would work with the sticks out of the box, providing a couple of mining software choices.

In the meantime if there's any interest in a Pi version of cgminer-gekko, I could post that binary or give it to Novak for him to post. That would at least cut out the build time (which is kind of slow on a Pi). All people would need to do is copy it to the right place and twiddle some GUI settings.
