In actual fact I'm attempting to run the
32bit Linux version, not the Raspbian version...
[edit_1]
...well, I'm happy to report that not only does the
Raspbian version work on this frankenstein setup, but it appears faster than the one I'm currently using under OSX using Wine...LOL - kudos and thanks for the suggestion
[edit_2]
..now if only I can get this setup to let me copy files here and there (to install kitz's web interface), as it appears the the mounted volume is read-only, or so does an error message claim. :/ chmod - nautilus are a no-go. Suggestions?
[edit_3]
..managed to copy all the revevant files manually via CLI, will come back to the read-only conundrum in due time; for now it's all fully functional :
