Description Scott Rifenbark 2012-01-31 06:42:37 UTC 
As reported by Jim Abernathy, it has taken some trial and error as well as dialogue over IRC and the Yocto room to get his development PC/Workstation set up optimally for use with Yocto.  What would be helpful in the manual set is some fundamental information added into the YP Quick Start that addressed getting the development system set up.  Currently, we list OS requirements and Package requirement.  We do also suggest disk space.  If there are more requirements we could mention them here.  Along with information in the QS, we might include a section in the YP Reference Manual titled "Development Host Requirements" that would include a laundry list of what we know.

Accepted.  Needs to be assigned to the "Development Manual" once that category is set up in Bugzilla.
Comment 2 Scott Rifenbark 2013-09-19 00:41:11 UTC 
I am pushing this out past 1.5 and will revisit.

In the meantime, maybe a fresh look at the docs and see if this bug still applies.  

Thanks,
Scott
