System development involves modification or creation of an image that you want to run on
a specific hardware target.
Usually, when you want to create an image that runs on embedded hardware, the image does
- not require the same amount of features that a full-fledged Linux distribution provides.
- Thus, you can create a much smaller image that is designed to just use the hardware
+ not require the same number of features that a full-fledged Linux distribution provides.
+ Thus, you can create a much smaller image that is designed to use only the hardware
features for your particular hardware.

Traditionally, when one thinks of a patched kernel, they think of a base kernel
- source tree and a fixed structure that conains kernel patches.
- The Yocto Project, however, employs mechanisims, that in a sense, result in a kernel source
+ source tree and a fixed structure that contains kernel patches.
+ The Yocto Project, however, employs mechanisms, that in a sense, result in a kernel source
generator.
By the end of this section, this analogy will become clearer.
