Hi Ron, I'm sorry to hear that this took up your time in this way, and wanted to let you know that I'm working with our documentation person to get the change made to our web site. Unfortunately the person who has access to make changes on our production server is at a conference this week, so we're hoping he will be able to make the change in a free moment. > My suggestion would be that you dry-run documentation such as this, > using people that have *no* yocto or openembedded background.

As a matter of fact, we did do this, but the renaming of the final images happened literally within a day or two of our public release, and the bug in the poky-qemu script is due to this renaming. It just goes to show that even "simple" last-minute changes still need to be tested. :( Scott -- Scott Garman Embedded Linux Distro Engineer - Yocto Project
