Linux Installation

[coo0659]

Hi.
Please advice me the most basic Linux installation method in A13.
Do I need LiveSuite ? 
I wish to use the Linux on A13.

You do not need Livesuite to run Linux. All you need is an SD card with Linux loaded. Even if you have the version of the A13 with Android pre-loaded then it still boots into Linux if the SD card is installed. You can load one yourself or purchase one ready to go.

The Linux version is Debian Wheezy. You can roll your own quite easily and the place to start is here: http://olimex.wordpress.com/2012/10/12/building-bootable-sd-card-with-debian-linux-image-for-a13-olinuxino/ where there is a good step by step guide and a copy of the image to download.

The only other tip I can give is use a fairly fast SD card ( or better.

Thank you very much for quick reply. 
I understood.

One more question.
I try to apt-get
# apt-get install gcc-4.6-arm-linux-gnueabi ncurses-dev uboot-mkimage build-essential git

But Ubuntu say file not found gcc-4.6-arm-linux-gnueabi.

How should I do install the gcc-4.6
My gcc version is 4.4.

Sorry may be this question is not proper in this forum.
