From ac18d660ebadf24f453867ec63573e6b37e5801a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Wed, 6 Mar 2013 10:26:55 -0800 Subject: dev-manual: Added notes about creating your own distro Added a couple of notes to point out the ease of creating your own distro and not just relying on a Poky distribution. One note is at the very beginning of the manual and mentions Angstrom as an example of a distro based on the YP. The other note is at the beginning of the second chapter.
