So, basically, since I know no one here likes long irrelevent stories, I would like to know why there isn't anything in the install file about making the 'files' folder... apparently it must be necessary, because you get a big red: The directory /files/ does not exist. error. (Drupal 4.5.2 has this changed in 4.6?)
It's not quite documentation, and I know what to do about it so it's not support. Just askin'. :)

There was some talk about this on IRC a couple days ago. We came up with the idea to replace the simple warning "/files does not exist" with "The directory 'files', which is needed by Drupal, does not exist." followed by a [Create this directory] button. This has several advantages: - It is clear to users that the directory is needed. - People who still want to change/move the directory don't get it created by accident. - People who have special set ups get a chance to create it manually.
