Issue Summary
I'm new to Drupal and recently installed Drupal 6 and I'd like to suggest a revision or change to the documentation regarding permissions. More specifically, the documentation found here http://drupal.org/getting-started/6/install/set-permissions
I kept getting an error message stating that the "sites/default/files does not exist ..."
Thanks to one of the posters from the Drupal Support Community forum, I resolved this issue by
1. Making a folder called 'files' in the sites/default folder
2. Setting the permissions to 777
More details on this can be found here
http://drupal.org/node/285988
I suggest revising the documentation to include these two steps.

Changed the component to reflect the new component categorization. See http://drupal.org/node/301443
