[yocto] Is there a good "getting started" tutorial?

[Scott Rifenbark]

Hi Grant,

There are indeed some errors in that tutorial.  Thanks for finding them and
sending notification.  Try the instructions in the latest quick start for
the 2.6 "thud" release.

https://yoctoproject.org/docs/2.6/brief-yoctoprojectqs/brief-yoctoprojectqs.html

I have run through them and made some adjustments to the manual to clear
things up.  It is working for me.

Thanks,
Scott
