* ref-manual: Small number of fixes to Ch1 of ref-manualRobert P. J. Day2013-12-031-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | Three chunks attempted in a patch from Robert. Two out of three worked. One did not because the text had changed due to re-writing a note that had some links to out-of-date wiki pages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | The links to the supplemental information wiki pages on setting up your system to run YP were terribly out of date. I re-wrote the section to remove them.

* ref-manual: updated the list of where to get YP releaseScott Rifenbark2013-11-011-7/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Partial fix for [YOCTO #5368] The list that summarized where to get YP release did not include the source repositories. It basically just listed tarball areas. Now that cloning the Git repo of poky is the preferred method for obtaining YP, I made sure that this area was the first spot listed and called out as the preferred method.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes [YOCTO #4912] Throughout the manual set, various areas talk about the Linux distributions we support and the required packages among other items that are tied to a distro. Debian had been missing except from the list in the ref-manual that shows the releases we test against. I have attended to all areas where Debian needs to be mentioned now.

The wiki page has been updated to link into the section of manual and the wiki page states that it is out of date. So, the manual should not point back to that wiki page.
