random questions..probably stupid

excuse the stupid questions and possible miss-post

Q1. Where are the docuents stored in alfresco (mysql database?)

It is just that most mysql installations seem to be in /usr/local on unix and my /usr partition is rather small.. I just want confirmation that documents are stored in mysql and I can take installation countermeasures when building a unix box for alfresco and make sure the underlying filesystem can cope with a large repository of documents.  Personally I like to put mysql in /opt or /export but that is something I can handle myself

Q2 deletion of documents ? I can't see how documents are removed (version 0.6 with tomcat bundle) I may just be thick but I assume there will be deletion functionality in the next versions of alfresco if it is not there already

Q3 User management functionality also does not seem to allow deletion or much editing or profile. again I assume I either missed it or will be in later versions 

apologies for these stupid questions

Hello,

1. The document content is stored in the alf_data/contentstore directory structure. Please see this forum article for more info: http://www.alfresco.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=273

2. Delete functionality is found by clicking the little arrow icon next to the document/space actions - this drops down an extra menu which has a little trashcan icon for delete.

3. User Management is improved in RC1 release - please let use know if this meets your requirements.

Your questions are not stupid! Smiley Happy

Thanks,

Kevin
