-# The recommended setup is to create a build directory, such as
-# ${HOME}/oe/build/ (you may want to put BitBake and the OE packages into your
-# ${HOME}/oe/bb/ and ${HOME}/oe/packages/ respectively too).  Within your
-# build environment, you should copy this file into conf/local.conf, and

 # NOTE: Do NOT use ~ in your paths, BitBake does NOT expand ~ for you.  If you
 # must have paths relative to your homedir use ${HOME} (note the {}'s there
 # you MUST have them for the variable expansion to be done by BitBake).  Your
 # paths should all be absolute paths (They should all start with a / after
 # expansion.  Stuff like starting with ${HOME} or ${TOPDIR} is ok).
 
-# Once you have done that, you will want to cd into your build environment
-# (${HOME}/oe/build/ in this example), then run "bitbake targets..."  This
-# will build into ${TMPDIR} which defaults to ${TOPDIR}/tmp (${TOPDIR} is
-# the current directory when bitbake was executed).
