Description Belen Barros Pena 2012-10-30 14:33:00 UTC 
Once you have downloaded a stable Yocto Project release or checked out the latest development code, launching Hob is a 2-step process using a command-line interpreter:

Step 1 - Run the OE Build Environment Setup Script
Step 2 - Type 'hob'

Although we can expect Yocto Project users to be confident with command line interfaces, Hob is a GUI and should probably follow GUI conventions. This involves making Hob accessible through the graphical application launching mechanisms provided by the host computer.

We're pretty much in the sustain mode of hob and all the effort is shifted to Toaster.  The requirement is obsolete
