[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Documentation: Update chapter on installation


From: Stefan Weil
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Documentation: Update chapter on installation
Date: Sun, 28 Mar 2010 11:50:19 +0200

* 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.
