From 97f2475f134376c43a89ca2079a04aaa00eaf70b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Tue, 2 Aug 2011 13:00:48 -0700 Subject: documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-model.xml: referenced cloning kernel files. In the flow section for the kernel modification section I added a new step for getting a local copy of the linux yocto kernel files. The section indicates that you need a local Git repository of the files and then references back to the Getting Started section for an example.
