+Before image generation can be started the build environment has to be initialized by the following command:
+<code> source environment </code>
+This copies default configuration information into the build/conf directory. Additionally some environment variables will be set up for the build system. This configuration directory is not under revision control; you may wish to edit these configuration files for your specific setup.

+Now building an image can be started by running the command:
