Hi all
I recently received my cubietruck and I want install Linux OS on my micro SD card to put it on my board and boot it of the microsd.Does anyone know if theres a universal program for windows to compile the image to the microsd or a way to install the image to the sd card instead of NAND?
Thanks

Take a look at http://linux-sunxi.org/Bootable_OS_images
but not all of those support the Cubietruck, so look for compatibility notes
within instructions for each image.

I tried to install lubuntu on micro sd through ubuntu terminal but when I get to $ sudo fdisk /dev/sdd I get command (m for help): so is it meant to be $ sudo fdisk /dev/sdd -l instead? then the next step I did $sudo mkfs.ext2 ${card}1 it comes up with mkv2fs 1.42.5 (29-Jul-12) could not stat /dev/sdd1 --- No such files or directory The device apparently does not exist; did you specify it correctly?
what do I do?

I created a script for the creation of SD bootable Lubuntu image.
I hope it will be helpful for somebody.
