eMMC boot linux distros for Pinebook.
#4
I would back up anything on the eMMC I would want to save, then look here:

I don't have a Pinebook yet, but I'm thinking you also could put the image on a USB drive, boot from the microSD, then enter something like "sudo dd if=/path/to/distro.img of=/dev/mmcblk2" on the command line.  Don't just copy and paste that.  I'm used to BSD and MacPorts, so I would search this forum to find the correct the Linux command for a Pinebook.
