+    <title>Images</title>
+
+    <para>
+        The OpenEmbedded build system provides several example
+        images to satisfy different needs.
+        When you issue the <filename>bitbake</filename> command you provide a “top-level” recipe
+        that essentially begins the build for the type of image you want.
+    </para>
+
+    <note>
+        Building an image without GNU General Public License Version 3 (GPLv3) components
+        is only supported for minimal and base images.
+        Furthermore, if you are going to build an image using non-GPLv3 components,
+        you must make the following changes in the <filename>local.conf</filename> file
+        before using the BitBake command to build the minimal or base image:
+        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     1. Comment out the EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES line
+     2. Set INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE = "GPLv3"
+        </literallayout>
+    </note>
+
+    <para>
+        From within the <filename>poky</filename> Git repository, use the following command to list
+        the supported images:
+        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     $ ls meta*/recipes*/images/*.bb
+        </literallayout>
+        These recipes reside in the <filename>meta/recipes-core/images</filename>,
+        <filename>meta/recipes-extended/images</filename>,
+        <filename>meta/recipes-graphics/images</filename>,
+        <filename>meta/recipes-qt/images</filename>,
+        <filename>meta/recipes-rt/images</filename>,
+        <filename>meta/recipes-sato/images</filename>, and
+        <filename>meta-skeleton/recipes-multilib/images</filename> directories
+        within the <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>.
+        Although the recipe names are somewhat explanatory, here is a list that describes them:

+    <tip>
+        From the Yocto Project release 1.1 onwards, <filename>-live</filename> and
+        <filename>-directdisk</filename> images have been replaced by a "live"
+        option in <filename>IMAGE_FSTYPES</filename> that will work with any image to produce an
+        image file that can be
+        copied directly to a CD or USB device and run as is.
+        To build a live image, simply add
+        "live" to <filename>IMAGE_FSTYPES</filename> within the <filename>local.conf</filename>
+        file or wherever appropriate and then build the desired image as normal.
