         By default, this title is derived from
         <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-DISTRO_NAME'><filename>DISTRO_NAME</filename></ulink>
         when it is set.

+        While several ways exist to change this variable, an efficient method
+        is to set the variable in your distribution's configuration file.
+        Doing so creates an SDK installer title that applies across your
+        distribution.
+        As an example, assume you have your own layer for your distribution
+        named "meta-mydistro" and you are using the same type of file
+        hierarchy as does the default "poky" distribution.
+        If so, you could update the <filename>SDK_TITLE</filename> variable
+        in the
+        <filename>~/meta-mydistro/conf/distro/mydistro.conf</filename> file
+        using the following form:
+        <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+     SDK_TITLE = "<replaceable>your_title</replaceable>"
+        </literallayout>
     </para>
