<DIV>Jorge, I will answer your question the way I always do: To "have D7 working properly," install what <STRONG>you</STRONG> need and no more. While there are lists of what others think are necessary, the answer for you is really individual. Of all the modules - and suggested lists - the only contributed module that I have used universally is Pathauto (well, before D7, that meant Tokens too). Yes, I even have a simple site that doesn't even use Views or CCK.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As for Fantastico, I strongly recommend against using it. You said you know how to install manually, so do. You will not be able to upgrade Drupal with Fantastico - I know from painful experience.<BR> </DIV>

<DD>Hello all.<BR><BR>
<DD>I am learning and studying Drupal. Actually on version 7 since my<BR>
<DD>hosting company (with CPanel) only provide version 7 as option for<BR>
<DD>instaltion with Fantastico. I have been playing with version 7, it<BR>
<DD>works, have had some issues that are very simple and do not work<BR>
<DD>(like having a menu link under a parent one, it just lost the child<BR>
<DD>menu and does not appear in any place. Anyway I am not sure if it is<BR>
<DD>a Drupal BUg or I am doing something wrong. Since I can install<BR>
<DD>rapidly I am starting from zero again to se if maybe I damaged<BR>
<DD>something in some way.<BR><BR>
<DD>For starters. Do you think it is better to downgrade to 6 (I can<BR>
<DD>install it manually). Or continue with 7?<BR><BR>
<DD>I have read that 7 is better and easier to learn for newbies.<BR><BR>
<DD>What would be your advice?<BR><BR>
<DD>Thanks in advance<BR><BR>
