How do I use installed MySQL documentation?

[ratcheer]

Today, I installed MySQL and several associated packages. One of them was MySQL documentation and Synaptic reported that it was installed, successfully. However, I cannot find it in any of the menus. I would like for it to be in Applications > Programming with the other MySQL stuff, but it is not. Can anyone tell me how to find and use it?

Thanks,
Tim

May be other ways but this is what I do. Go back into synaptic and find the package you installed and under where it has installed files look for /usr/share/doc/..../html files. To put this in your drop down you go to System > Preferences > Main Menu > Programming, then on the right side click on 'Add Item'. Fill in the boxes! Best way to avoid typos is use FF to open the file and then copy/paste the URL. Where the command box is: firefox <path to index.html>.

Thanks again. Here is where I found it:

/usr/share/doc/mysql-doc-5.0/refman-5.0-en.html-chapter/index.html

There will probably be -lots- of them in there...
