Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Documentation: Update chapter on installation
Date: Sun, 28 Mar 2010 11:50:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1269769819-7521-1-git-send-email-weil@mail.berlios.de> (raw)
* Replace broken links by link to QEMU wiki.
* Separate sections for Linux / Windows / Mac OS X
are no longer needed: the wiki link will provide
additional links, so we don't need them here.
* Add hint for (Open) Solaris.
