    <thetext>To quote a user from irc &quot;Snafflehog: RP__: I&apos;m looking for where the documentation is on adding bbappends and kernel config fragments - I can&apos;t find it for the life in me! Could you point me to at least the correct piece of documentation as they all seem to step on each others toes!&quot;

I looked at the manuals and he&apos;s right. Nowhere is there any example about what a .bbappend file might contain. Searching for information about kerne; config fragments, again I can&apos;t find any example in the manual. We need to do better!</thetext>

    <thetext>I am creating a new chapter in the YP Dev manual entitled &quot;Common Tasks&quot;.  This chapter is going to eventually contain usage information that is currently in the YP Reference Manual.  To address this bug I will have sections that describe isolated examples for creating a .bbappend file and a configuration fragment.</thetext>

    <thetext>Created a new section called &quot;Understanding and Using Layers&quot; in the YP Development manual.  Inside the section is another section called &quot;Using .bbappend Files.&quot;  This section, along with several other edit passes through the manual should provide information on how to use a .bbappend file.  

To see how .bbappend is treated throughout the dev manual, see the latest version at http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/dev-manual/dev-manual.html.
