The configuration file has been created for you with some default values. To add additional metadata layers into your configuration please add entries to this file. The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about OE including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation For more information about OpenEmbedded see their website: http://www.openembedded.org/ sed: can't read /tmp/bblayers.conf.sample: No such file or directory in the end, despite the obviously fatal errors, i got a new build directory with no local.conf, and an empty bblayers.conf. that doesn't really match what the error messages were telling me above. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
