cover - Added new question and note for Python 2.6 requirement.
From: Scott Rifenbark <[email protected]>
Part of the fix for Bug 628 is to add a note that bitbake requires python 2.6. I added this note in the Yocto Quick Start Guide before the example bitbake command
that builds an image.
The other part of the fix for #628 required adding a new question to the FAQ appendix in the Poky Reference Manual for use of Poky when you do not have Python 2.6.

Part of the fix for Bug 628 is to add a note that bitbake requires python 2.6. I added this note before the example bitbake command that builds an image. I also added a linked reference to the Poky Reference Manual and mentioned the FAQ appendix. There will be more information about the python requirement in the FAQ.
