-Required Packages
-===
-
-Running Poky on Debian based distributions requires the following
-extra packages be installed;
-
-build-essential
-diffstat
-texinfo
-texi2html
-cvs
-subversion
-gawk
-bochsbios (to run qemux86 images)
-
-You also need to install the qemu from http://debian.o-hand.com/. A
-poky-depends deb is also available from this source which will install 
-all the dependencies mentioned above for you.
-
-Alternatively poky can build qemu itself, but for this you need the
-following packages installed;
-
-gcc-3.4
-libsdl1.2-dev
-zlib1g-dev
-
-You will also need to comment out ASSUME_PROVIDED += "qemu-native"' in  
-build/conf/local.conf.
-
-Building under other distro's such as Fedora is known to work. Use the above
-package names as a guide for dependencies.
-
-Building An Image
-===
-
-Simply run;
-
-% source poky-init-build-env
-% bitbake poky-image-sato
-
-This will result in an ext2 image and kernel for qemu arm (see scripts dir).
-
-To build for other machine types see MACHINE in build/conf/local.conf
-
-Other image targets such as poky-image-sdk or poky-image-minimal are available, 
-see meta/packages/images/*.
