Description Dave Stewart 2011-05-25 15:24:45 UTC 
The release notes at http://www.yoctoproject.org/download/yocto/intel-core-i3-15-and-i7-0 say the following:

"In order to build an image with BSP support for a given release, you need to check out the 'meta-intel' branch corresponding to the release you're building against..."

It goes on to describe trying to figure out which git branch to follow.  This should say just download the right tar file from the downloads directory. You should not require someone to know git in order to build the BSP.

Please make this change quickly.  Thanks.
