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'.  :)

Anisa.
