+    <p>Once a package has been unpacked, it is possible to manually update

+    of buildroot, linux, busybox, uclibc and u-boot in "local/$(PROJECT) by

+
+<pre>
+ $ make saveconfig

+    instead of ".config". </p>
+
+    <p>If you want to modify your board, you can copy the project configuration
+     file to ".config" by using the command:</p> 
+
+<pre>
+ $ make BOARD=&lt;project&gt; getconfig
