From b7626dc36f97d62dbf8a68b2061f5f93cd567b64 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Fri, 12 May 2017 11:45:07 -0700 Subject: ref-manual: Updated image-live.bbclass description Fixes [YOCTO #9001] Updated the image-live class description to specifically mention creating *.iso and *.hddimg images as "live" images. Provided more explanation about usage through the NOISO and NOHDD variables. Also, provided a cross-referencing link back to the updated image-live class from the EFI_PROVIDERS variable.
