documentation/poky-ref-manual/faq.xml: [BUGID# 628] - Added new question for Python 2.6 requirement.
As part of the fix for #628 I added a new question to the FAQ for use
of Poky when you do not have Python 2.6.

31 | I only have Python 2.4 or 2.5 but BitBake requires Python 2.6. | ||

37 | You can use a stand-alone tarball to provide Python 2.6. | ||
38 | You can find pre-built 32 and 64-bit versions of Python 2.6 at the following locations: | ||

44 | <para> | ||
45 | These tarballs are self-contained with all required libraries and should work | ||
46 | on most Linux systems. | ||
47 | To use the tarballs extract them into the root | ||
48 | directory and run the appropriate command: | ||
49 | <literallayout class='monospaced'> | ||
50 | $ export PATH=/opt/poky/sysroots/i586-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/:$PATH | ||
51 | $ export PATH=/opt/poky/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/:$PATH | ||
52 | </literallayout> | ||
53 | </para> | ||
54 | <para> | ||
55 | Once you run the command, BitBake uses Python 2.6. | ||
