From 52435ce88080fb4c9a8fbb51fa0cc242b491c319 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Tue, 2 Aug 2011 09:22:56 -0700 Subject: documentation/poky-ref-manual/ref-images.xml: Updated the list of images. The list of images has grown. I added all images reported in the 1.1_M2 build using the 'ls meta*/recipes*/images/*.bb' command.
