So, I've installed some documentation out of Synaptic...

Um, where did it go?

I downloaded some Python information (a -doc and some other things listed as documentation for learning the language) because I'm really interested in learning how to program stuff for Linux.

However! I cannot figure out where the heck it went. I looked in the terminal turn-arrow after it said it was done, but I saw nothing resembling a path as to where it might have put it. Additionally, I have no idea how to search the file structure. (It's been a decade or more since I used Unix commands. :eek: )

Anyway, any help that might be offered would be much much appreciated.

Thanks for reading. :)

God knows how anyone was supposed to find it, but it's in /usr/share/doc/python2.1-doc/html

Almost any time documentation is installed using apt-get or synaptic it goes to /usr/share/doc/* (where * is a folder based on the program's name). It's not an absolute, but it is pretty standard.

Good to know. Didn't know that before.

God knows how anyone was supposed to find itNo matter if it's documentation or an application, if you want to know where exactly the files from a certain installed package are, you can right click the package name in Synaptic, hit properties and go to the "Installed Files" tab.

Good to know. Thanks for all the tips.

To continue on this though, I just installed GnuChess and GnuChess book. I can't find them anywhere, they aren't in my applications list. Help? I found GnuChess in my /usr/games, but of course I can't just double-click. Help?

Alt-F2 ``` gnuchess

Does it work?

sigh, no. The tool doesn't seem to find it. It's weird. Synaptic Package Manager says I have it, I'm able to find it in my /usr/games directory. I WANNA PLAY CHESS DAMMIT! hahaha.

Apparently, it needs to be run in conjunction with another application: > On Debian GNU/Linux systems you can find the documentation under /usr/share/doc/gnuchess/MANUAL.gz which was originally named doc/README in the upstream source. Usually you will want to use gnuchess through a chess interface such as xboard, eboard or gnome-chess.

Thanks! That did it. One last question, I removed a few progs, and their icons are still in the Applications list. How do i get rid of that?
