"If your distribution is Ubuntu, you need to be running the bash shell. You can
be sure you are running this shell by entering the following command and
selecting "No" at the prompt:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash

There are many references to YP documentation throughout the
YP manual set. They used to have hard-coded links to the
current release (e.g. yoctoproject.org/docs/1.1 for Edison).
This created a situation where if you went to a document on
the website and clicked on a external reference to another
manual, you would redirect to the current manual on the website.
Really, you would want to go to the latest manual, which is
one that is under development. Changing the links to
"yoctoproject.org/docs/latest" makes the tip of master, which
is used for devloping the next release, always have references
to the manuals being developed and not back to the stable
released set of manuals.
This "latest" and "current" scheme for the links is not perfect.
What has to happen when the latest set of the manuals freezes
and becomes the next stable release, all the links in the docs
will need to be changed from "latest" in the URL to the new
release number. So for example, all the "latest" occurences
would need to be changed to "1.2". Then for the next cycle
as development begins again, the links need to be infused with
"latest" again.

As Reported By: Robert P. J. Day.
Community member Robert P. J. Day scrubbed the Quick Start manual for Release
1.1. He found several areas that were incorrect. Many items were documented
pre-release and changed during the actual realeas. Naming conventions for
images and such had to be changed. Robert also found and suggested several
wording changes that resulted in clearer text.
I was not able to patch all the changes using the 'patch' command. I need to
work out some process issues still in order to apply patches directly to the
yocto-docs repository. Meanwhile, I hand-inserted the changes. Also, some
text changes were modified slightly by me to conform to the books style, etc.
Kudos to Robert for such a detailed look at the YP Quick Start.
