-                    Use the following steps to set up the SimpleHTTPServer
-                    machine.
-                    These steps assume the build machine and the server are
-                    same machine:
-                    <orderedlist>
-                        <listitem><para><emphasis>Create a Directory that
-                            Contains the Packages to Host:</emphasis>
-                            Be sure you have root privileges and place the
-                            directory inside <filename>var/www/</filename>
-                            (e.g. <filename>/var/www/my_repo/</filename>).
-                            To ensure the directory contains the packages you
-                            want to serve, you need to create a symlink from
-                            the package feed area to the directory that hosts
-                            the packages you want to provide:
-                            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
-     my_repo # ln -s ~{TMPDIR}/deploy/<replaceable>packageformat</replaceable> ./

-                        <listitem><para><emphasis>Start the Server:</emphasis>
-                            You can start the server by running the following
-                            commands from the recently created directory:
-                            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
-     $ cd /var/www/my_repo
-     $ python –m SimpleHTTPServer
-                            </literallayout>
-                            </para></listitem>
-                    </orderedlist>
+                    From within the build directory where you have built an
+                    image based on your packaging choice (i.e. the
+                    <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PACKAGE_CLASSES'><filename>PACKAGE_CLASSES</filename></ulink>
+                    setting), simply start the server.
+                    The following example assumes a build directory of
+                    <filename>~/poky/build/tmp/deploy/rpm</filename> and a
+                    <filename>PACKAGE_CLASSES</filename> setting of
+                    "package_rpm":
+                    <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ cd ~/poky/build/tmp/deploy/rpm
