Per Paul Eggleton he suggested that the wording we had about YP focusing
on the GNOME Mobile environment was misleading now. It was in there in the
original version of the FAQ but with time has become outdated. I simply
removed the "GNOME" part and left the part that mentions about YP
being a stable
environment and well-suited for the embedded mobile environment.

GNU version of the Unix statndrd C library. We do not support this
any longer and now use 'eglibc' to build with. Notable changes were
in the required packages area of the QS manual. I also added a
bit in the reference guide saying how this release does not use
'glibc' to build with but rather 'eglibc'.

This bug was filed by Gary Thomas and was requesting more information
on the "hows" and "whys" of setting up your own package repositories.
At this point, I have added information to help the user understand
build performance issues when choosing between the RPM and IPKG packaging
systems. Likely, there is more that needs to be added to fully address
this bug.
For now, I added explanations in the packaging class and glossary areas
of the YP reference manual, a new paragraph in the YP QS just prior to
firing off a build, and a new bit of information in the configuring
PMS in the ADT Manual.

eliminate the information in the YP ref manual as is suggested by the
