where to put IMAGE_INSTALL??
There seems to be some sensitivity to where I put the statement IMAGE_INSTALL += "web-webkit".
At first I just modifed the meta/receipes-sato/image/core-image-sato.bb file to include it. That caused the webkit to be built.
Since that is not an ideal location, I removed it and put it into the local.conf file. That also caused the webkit to be built, but I wanted it to be part of my BSP permanently.
I thought about creating a core-image-sato.bbappend file with the IMAGE_INSTALL += "web-webkit" in it and put that into the BSP, but that didn't cause the webkit to be built. Under the meta-intel/meta-n450 directory, I created a receipes-jfa directory and put the core-image-sato.bbappend file there.
I must be missing a key rule about directory parsing and .bbappend files.

Look at the how the layers are parsed - this info is in <layer>/conf/layer.conf
Try putting your .bbappend file in
.../meta-intel/meta-n450/recipes-jfa/images/core-image-sato.bbappend

I think you are correct now that I look more closely at the meta-n450/conf/layer.conf file.
It has:
BBFILES := "${BBFILES} ${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bb \
${LAYERDIR}/recipes-*/*/*.bbappend"which tells me that it will not find recipes-jfa/core-image-sato.bbappend, but will find meta-n450/recipes-jfa/images/core-image-sato.bbappend
Thanks,

I just tested your method of putting the .bbappend file in the directory above and it work just fine. I also found out that you should not put the IMAGE_INSTALL in the local.conf. It builds okay, but the resulting image will not boot. Tom pointing me the a statement in the Poky reference manual about not doing this as well.
