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 ---Dave

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"

It's a requirement that you run update after adding a repository; the old docs were broken. Please go ahead and thanks for catching it.
