You do not install a Linux LiveCD on the Kindle.
You run it on an x86 machine, your "larger computer" than a Kindle.
Those distributions give you a (fairly complete) Linux distribution that is run by your "larger computer" without touching the storage media of that machine.
1) -
This gives you something that can be used to learn a bit about using Linux. Good when just starting out on the learning curve.
2) -
As you progress on the learning curve, you will next want to save things that you do. On LiveCDs this is called "Persistent Storage".
This will require some read/write storage on your "larger computer", often just a USB memory stick will do.
Note 1: If your "larger computer" can boot from USB you can often install the "LiveCD" files on the same USB memory stick.
3) -
At this point in this post, you have a choice. . . .
Pick a Linux LiveCD from this list:
http://www.livecdlist.com/operating-system/linux
OR
Use the Knoppix LiveCD:
http://www.livecdlist.com/knoppix
Available in English and German.
Use of "persistent storage" is optional, and easy if you decide you want to use it.
May be installed on the USB stick along with the persistent storage area.
May be booted from the USB stick in computers that will boot from USB stick.
Has an optional CD file that allows you to boot the USB install on computers that will not directly boot from USB stick.
Is designed and intended for people new to Linux.
4) -
Bookmark this post - come back to it after you gain some experience in all of the above.
5) -
Search this forum for the thread titled: DIY - KeK (set the filter at the top of the forum to the "tools" prefix, select those threads).
Read the top post of the DIY - KeK thread and all things linked from that top post.
6) -
Install your choice of cross-compiler packages picked from (5) above.
7) -
Follow thread posts, picking out various "worked examples" until you get the general idea behind cross-compiling.
NOTE:
What you evidently wanted with your first post was a Kindle Native (running on the Kindle) program development environment.
It can be done on a Kindle - by the very experienced Linux developer - twobob already posted you links on that.
Plus - there are entire threads here on the subject.
Get yourself a year or two of experience at cross-compiling before you try those directions.
To get a feel for what all is involved in building a Linux system, read through (both, in this order):

If your a quick learner and have a lot of computer science background, we can expect you back here within six months.
