[support] Installing from profiles

[Alison]

Thanks Jamie.

More looking for confirmation that the error wasn't due to my lack of familiarity re: installing using "Profiles". If there is no necessity to run the Drush make files or do anything else different, then I will spend the weekend debugging it. Lots on Drupal.org about distributing using profiles but couldn't find anything about installing from them.

Then ran install.php from a browser and nothing happens. What would normally be in sites/all/themes and sites/all/modules is now in a profile/drupress directory. Everything seems to be there but how do I get to it. So looking for a "Dummies intro to installing from  "Profiles". Thanks.
