                     Use your layer to hold other information needed for the
-                    distribution.
-                    You can add recipes for installing distro-specific
-                    configuration files that are not already
-                    installed by another recipe.
-                    If you have distro-specific configuration files that are
-                    included by an existing recipe, you should add a
-                    <filename>.bbappend</filename> for those.
-                    You should add any image recipes that are specific to your
-                    distribution.
-                    You should add a <filename>psplash</filename> append file
-                    for a branded splash screen.
-                    Finally, be sure to add any other append files to make
-                    custom changes that are specific to individual recipes.
