Ahh yes, Knotty2 rocks! 

For those who don't get this by default, i did this.. 

`bitbake -u knotty2 gumstix-console-image' 

I do notice that sometimes the "Running task 3160 of 3162 …" does get buggy.. Instead of updating that line it makes a new line so i end up with… 

Running task 3160 of 3162..
Running task 3161 of 3162..
Running task 3162 of 3162…
0: …
