I made a virtual machine running ubuntu 9.10 (32bit).
My username on this system is oe.

Make the following directory structure:

cd ~
mkdir oe
cd oe
mkdir build
mkdir sources

Install bitbake:

wget http://oss.leggewie.org/oe/deb/bitbake_1.8.18-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i bitbake_1.8.18-1_all.deb

Install some packages:

sudo apt-get install python git-core python-dev python-psyco ccache patch quilt m4 sed docbook bison build-essential 
sudo apt-get install subversion libc6-dev help2man mktemp texi2html gawk texinfo
sudo apt-get install libboost-dev autoconf automake autotools-dev docbook-dsssl docbook-utils dvipdfmx icecc

Get the latest openembedded:

git clone git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded base
cp base/conf/local.sample base/conf/local.conf
nano base/conf/local.conf

and edit 5 lines:

- DL_DIR = "${HOME}/oe/sources"
- BBFILES = "${HOME}/oe/base/recipes/*/*.bb"
- TMPDIR = "${HOME}/oe/build"
- MACHINE = "mini2440"
- uncomment DISTRO=

Disable dash:

dpkg-reconfigure dash
and select 'no'

edit /etc/sysctl.conf (as root) and add the following line:

vm.mmap_min_addr = 0

And reboot
Start building a console image:

export BBPATH=/home/oe/oe/base
bitbake console-image

After this, you can find your compiled filesystem/kernel/uboot in

/home/oe/oe/build/deploy/glibc/images/mini2440/

Set up a TFTP/NFS with this filesystem and kernel for testing
