comparison DOCS/documentation.html @ 8781:8e3e71a8c414
Remove an obsolete link in the solaris section of the documentation
(mplayer should work out of the box with the included mpdvdkit2 on
solaris).
Mention the patches that should be installed to fix one of the two bugs
that prevent the use of DVDs >4GB on solaris 8.
