In case others have trouble: it's under Support -> Documentation. It |
49 |
leads you to a page that lets you search the wiki, or pick the category |
50 |
your needs fit under. |

I found it without issue, and I hadn't used the new layout yet. Aside |
53 |
from the Devmanual, most of Gentoo's docs are on the wiki, so you could |
54 |
make a bookmark and setup a search shortcut for it. Just bookmark the |
55 |
following address in Firefox: |
56 |
|
57 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/index.php?search=%s |
58 |
|
59 |
Give it a keyword like 'gdocs' or something, then you can do "gdocs |
60 |
Alsa" and it'll search the wiki for ALSA. I'm not sure how it's done in |
61 |
Opera or Chrom[e|ium]. |
