            Status: NEW

          Priority: P3
         Component: web site

I just build angstrom for the first time using the instructions found at:
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-%C3%A5ngstr%C3%B6m

While doing so I encountered various issues that I want to report here.

Step 1:
Wished there were also instructions on how to install in a different dir than
/OE (e.g. in ~/OE). Not everyone has write access to / to create the dir (or
the space in / to accomodate the files). 
I tried replacing /OE with /home/frans/OE (also in the sourceme script), but
when I first ran bitbake it still gave me an error because somewhere it expects
/OE.

Step 2:
This one has a line saying:
cd org.openembedded.stable && git checkout -b org.openembedded.stable
origin/org.openembedded.stable
This is too wide to fit into the browser, suggest to replace && by a newline

Step 2:
git pull --rebase
This does not work for me:

frans at frans-ubuntu:/OE/org.openembedded.stable$ git pull --rebase
Usage: /usr/bin/git-fetch <fetch-options> <repository> <refspec>...

Step 3:
I suggest to store a local.conf sample somewhere and allow people to download
it. When I cut the text and pasted it into vi, I was missing the linefeeds (in
the end I cut from the page source, too lazy to type :-) )

Step 3:
last line: the link in here to get inspiration brought me to
http://gitweb.openembedded.net/?p=org.openembedded.dev.git;a=tree;f=conf/machine;hb=HEAD
This page says projects/ and then a 403 error 
403 Forbidden No such project

Step 4:
Not surprisingly git pull --rebase still does not work. Same error.
