[support] Writing a module and get an error

[tony maciejowski]

Not installed in modules/system folder.
Dir structure as follows:
sites/all/modules/annotate/

   - annotate.admin.inc
   - annotate.install

sites/all/modules/custom/annotate/

   - annotate.info
   - annotate.module

The book was a bit confusing as to where the files should go. Should they
all be in one or the other of these dirs and not split between the 2?

Thanks ... yes near the mark.
Tony
