[support] Installing from profiles

[Walt Daniels]

Sounds like you are doing too much fiddling beforehand. Just follow the
profiles install instructions.

I have strongly objected to profiles putting modules in a strange place as
then when you install some other (non-profile contrib module it winds up in
the normal place and using the web based update a module puts it in the
normal place with the result of having two copies of the module and not
knowing for sure which one is actually used - bad deal). So you really have
to rely on the distribution provider to keep up with security  patches to
modules they use.
