[Qemu-devel] making changes to the documentation

[G 3]

How do I change the documentation on the page: 
http://www.nongnu.org/qemu/qemu-doc.html. I downloaded and edited the 
file using Netscape, but when I try using diff to create a patch file, 
almost all of the source code shows changes. Maybe someone else could 
do this for me. I want to change the Mac OS X section for Compiling 
from source to say this:

  6.4 Mac OS X

     * Download Qemu's source 
code:http://www.nongnu.org/qemu/download.html

     * Double click on the file to have Stuffit Expander decompress it.

     * Open the Terminal Application (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal).

     * In Terminal, change the current directory to Qemu's source code 
directory.

     * Type this command then press enter: ./configure --enable-cocoa

     * Then type this command and press enter: make

     * Lastly, type this command and press enter: sudo make install

     * Quit Terminal.

     * Start up Terminal.

     * Type "qemu" and push enter.


The "configure --enable-cocoa" command will take about a minute to 
execute. The "make" command could take up to an hour to complete. While 
it executes, you will see "CC file_name" (with file_name being the 
current file being worked on) listed down the window.
The "sudo make install" will install qemu and each emulator's bios in 
appropriate directories.

qemu-doc.html is generated from qemu-doc.texi.

So:

1- edit qemu-doc.texi
2- make qemu-doc.html
3- check qemu-doc.html
4- if not good goto 1
6- git commit -s qemu-doc.texi
7- git show HEAD
8- git format-patch -1
9- git send-email --to qemu-devel@nongnu.org 0001-*.patch

Regards,
Laurent
