GNU Root in Android

@Ambarishrh I have done debian.img file from internet and extracted the same in my phone.
I have installed the Complete Linux APK file,then VNC viewer and Terminal Emulator.
I have tried to login to the terminal emulator and tried to install the debian,but debian-8.img,mounts are present i dont know how to install in it?
I have googled the details some commands in android forum but it does not helped me? -

https://fossbytes.com/how-to-install-a-linux-on-android-phone-without-rooting/Just quick scanned the article: you are not installing Linux, but a package manager and a toolchain from a Debian / Gentoo based distro.
Not sure what you want to accomplish by taking this route.

Don't have time to read this one right now, but it looks like a variant of the previous approach.

A python script running on Linux inside you're phone is just not going to happen from what I've seen so far on this thread (the instructions you found are apparently incomplete and/or not correct for the model of phone you want to do this on.

Yes, I think that what you are trying to do may not work. But that doesn't mean that we can't solve the actual problem. Why do you need this Python script running and could it be run another way?

https://fossbytes.com/how-to-install-a-linux-on-android-phone-without-rooting/That article doesn't mention about VNC or such, looks like you used multiple articles to get this done, and haven't shared any screenshots or errors apart from your statement that its not working. And not sure what are you trying to achieve by installing it on a low spec phone, other than just try to see how it works!
Just found another how-to http://www.techrepublic.com/article/use-gnuroot-to-install-a-gnulinux-distribution-on-your-android-device/ Check this and see if you can set it up.
