+            A useful BitBake option to consider is the <filename>-k</filename> or 
+            <filename>&dash;&dash;continue</filename> option.  
+            This option instructs BitBake to try and continue processing the job as much 
+            as possible even after encountering an error.  When an error occurs the target that
+            failed and those that depend on it cannot be remade.  However, when you use this
+            option other dependencies can still be processed.
