How to list all the taxonomy terms in a separate menu

where are the terms as in d5?

I have that problem as well. It would be nice to have a way to "shift" the hierarchy up by one level, thus hiding the vocabulary name while still showing all of the children.

I was wondering the same thing. Does anybody have an answer to this?

I think there are many users who would like to see taxonomies as independent menus, so I am suggesting this as a feature request and suggesting some code to achieve this functionality. Maybe in a future release users could choose whether they want the items added to the Navigation menu or to separate ones. Here's how I'm doing this:
1. Create a menu in drupal for each vocabulary I want to appear separately named vocab-vid (e.g. vocab-3 for vocabulary 3)
2. Apply the following patch:
In _taxonomy_menu_menu(), comment out

/*
      $items[$path] = array(
        'access arguments'    => array('access content'),
        'file'            => 'taxonomy_menu.inc',
        'page callback'   => '_taxonomy_menu_page',
        'title'           => t($vocab->name),
        'weight'          => $vocab->weight
      );
*/

Hope this helps.
And at

          $items[$path] = array(
            'description'     => t($term->description),
            'title'           => $name,
            'weight'          => $term->weight,
            'access arguments' => array('access content'),
          );

add the attributes:

        'file'            => 'taxonomy_menu.inc',
        'page callback'   => '_taxonomy_menu_page',
        'menu_name'	 =>  "menu-vocab-".$vocab->vid,

Note that
'access arguments' => array('access content'),
is not currently included in the stable version, but needs to be added in the future release for compatibility with 6.3

Hmm....I attemped this, and once I patched the file, the Taxonomy Menu settings menu item went away. Thoughts on how to get it back? I'm assuming I need to activate the vocabs I want to turn into menus?

Make sure you create the menus before you apply this, or before you enable taxonomy_menu for those vocabulary.
In D6, when you go to admin/build/menu/add, in the first box "Menu name", type vocab-3 or vocab-4 or whatever, your vocab ID is. You should be able to go to /admin/build/menu-customize/menu-vocab-4 afterwards.
If you go through this and enable the menu for the vocab at admin/settings/taxonomy_menu then the module should add the terms.
I wish I knew how to create menus through the API, so this wouldn't be necessary.

I don't know what #7 is describing.

Perhaps you want to look at devel_menu() in devel module which adds menu items to its menu. Thats what this module should do.

I too would love to be able to shift the menu back one step and not have the vocabulary item in the menu at all.

What I have is this

Catalog < - block title
-Catalog < - Vocabulary Name
--Pens
--Pencils
---Mechanical Pencils
--Paper
---Lined Paper
---Printer Paper

I don't want to have the Catalog vocabulary name as a part of the menu. I want what is below.

Catalog < - block title
-Pens
-Pencils
--Mechanical Pencils
-Paper
--Lined Paper
--Printer Paper

In D5 I used to 'disable' the parent menu and the child menus used to show up without the root. But in D6 its not happening. I am struggling with the same issue. Will let you know how it goes...

Advanced Taxonomy Blocks solves a lot of these issues...

Will be reviewed after rewrite for D6.

seidren, did that work for you in D5?

This is part of the latest dev package.
