Poor first impression

[Gary Thomas <gary@mlbassoc.com>]

I just tried to run Poky/Yocto on a fresh Ubuntu 12.04 system.  I knew there would
be missing bits and have seen the "sanity" messages in the past, so I thought I'd
just carry on.  Today's experience was not pretty and would it not for my experience
with this, I would have been very perplexed...

Here's what I saw:
