I second the point about updating the instructions.  The whole point of 
the quick start instructions is to let one quickly get their feet on the 
ground.  When the documentation is in error, it costs people time and 
frustration.  I spent a couple hours working in the dark since this is 
new to me, until I finally found a work-around, when the exercise should 
have taken minutes.

My suggestion would be that you dry-run documentation such as this, 
using people that have *no* yocto or openembedded background.  After 
all, that's the target audience for a 'quick start' page.

Thanks,
Ron
