[drupal-docs] Troubleshooting faq section (needs to be condensed)

[Anisa]

Yay.  Thanks.  :)  Can you also make this file not the first one under 
the installation guide?  Surely Installation Process/System Requirements 
should go before it.  :)

I am not sure how many non-windows users wouldn't be able to figure out 
how to install additional modules themselves, but certainly, it's 
windows centric.  If you need to add specific info for other OSs, then 
you want to seperate it out, windows users this, linux users that.

I don't quite understand this part:
(after When you extracted the module, you should've made a folder with 
the module's name on it. Upload that folder to the modules directory on 
your Drupal website.)
'If it's already on your host, move the folder to your Drupal modules/ 
folder, replacing 'modulename' with the folder that uncompressing 
created on your host and 'path/to/drupal/' with the actual path to where 
you installed Drupal.'

perhaps this is a reference to the previous section where the user has 
directly extracted to the host...  I definitely think this should be 
seperated out.  The newbie windows user uploading via FTP needs to know 
that this doesn't apply to him. 

It also could be trimmed down a little...  a little wordy.  ^.^
