[support] Installation of Drupal 5.4

[sander-martijn]

I just installed 5.3 about 2 weeks ago and 5.2 is running smoothly on 
another site.  But I got a security message from a friend that I should 
update to 5.4 because anything older than that can allow for sql 
injection.  I was thinking about updating but haven't gotten around to 
it.  Has anyone else tried 5.4 and have you had success or similar 
problems to Tom?  I have found previous versions of drupal to install 
quite easily and simply and have not had the issues Tom is running into.

So again, anyone else have experience with 5.4 yet?
