It's not that difficult to find, there are only two sections it can possibly be in.

Always worth checking the index of the FAQ section and the Maintenence Guides section - both have a index of posts at the top :y

It's a lot easier to find these things when you don't need them. ;)  It's Murphy's Law again.  I've spent ages looking for stuff even when I know it's there and have drawn a blank in the past.
