The install script configures the LAMP stack for drupal, installs APC, drush, drush make and sets up a database for our drupal. After this we launch the make file which downloads all needed code for our drupal. Now the script will configure the drupal file system, set up the permissions and copy the drupal install profile and resources.

(Wouldn't have linked, except they also linked to Drubuntu and others so they clearly did their research.)

To execute, install Drush, install Drush Make, then run the attached file [...t]o specify an output directory, add the path as an extra parameter:

How Indymedia New Zealand converted their site to Drupal.

A set of helper functions (aka CRUD) that make it easier to work with Drupal data structures by providing some wrapper functions. Include crud.inc in your install profile to use them. crud.inc was originally developed and maintained by Boris Mann of Bryght. There is now a rag tag band of developers including moshe, quicksketch, webchick, and dww who add a little more each time we build an install profile.

Please help by getting similar functions into core for Drupal 7. Please ask for co-maintainer status if you are also developing install profiles and would like to contribute.
