I like apt-get
anyways.
Also something that you could do if you use SSH on your pi is to run the cgminer instance in a "screen"
sudo apt-get install screen
sudo screen -R myminer
sudo ./cgminer/cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://yourfavoritepool.com:3333 -u yourusername -p x
to "close" the screen but keep cgminer running do CTRL+A, CTRL+D. Then you can close the SSH terminal and keep cgminer runing.
To reopen the cgminer instance you could just do
sudo screen -R myminer
CruzCoins: Does this work with the 49 port hub?
