Proposed change to https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/Ubuntu/ImageInstallation
Can anyone see a reason not to make this change? On a couple of
occasions I've had people come to me with problems after failing to do
apt-get update and then installing (old) linaro tools packages, when
following the installation instructions on the linaro wiki. It's
harmless (and probably necessary) just to run it every time.
Cheers

release or the development tree; see below.

linaro-image-tools successfully, and qemu-user-static will be

We should probably also change the section title from:
From package in Ubuntu 10.10 and later
to
From package in Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS and later
