Answers.Text: Thank you Andrew!  I'm up and running.  FYI, I did step 2 with the instruction that says "upload and extract the file in <DRUPAL ROOT>/sites/all/modules".  I think the "click on Install New Module, and it will ask you to fill in the URL of the module" instruction still won't work, because it doesn't specify what "the URL of the module" is. ~ Thanks again, Ken

Answers.Text: Laryn - your link to SourceForge is taking people to a page where if they just hit the big green DOWNLOAD button they end up with 4.6.5 rather than the latest. Not your fault I know ;-) I understand this is an issue that is being looked at 'upstream' so perhaps you can edit your answer to avoid more users inadvertently getting an old version of code.

  You can always find the latest version on the [CiviCRM website](https://civicrm.org/download), or on [Sourceforge](http://sourceforge.net/projects/civicrm/files/civicrm-stable/). If using the Sourceforge link, there is a [direct link to the latest version (Drupal)](http://sourceforge.net/projects/civicrm/files/latest/download?source=files) (others who may be interested in other CMS's can select the version for an alternate CMS):

  * *(per @username_2) It is a good idea to double check that you are getting the latest version if you use the big green "Download" button as occasionally that button lags behind the latest version slightly.*
