I know nothing of Synaptics but once drupal is installed you start creating content or enabling modules using the adminsitration area. Upon completion of installation you should have been presented with a default welcome screen provided by drupal.
I'd suggest installing drupal without a 3rd party script ensuring that you are using the same setup that most everyone on the support forums are.
The synaptic and 'apt-get install' script puts Drupal files into /user/share/drupal6 folders; while the manual install steps provided 'everywhere' has you copy the files into /var/www/drupal. It become a problem if the synaptic install fails and then go to manual install OR you need to move/rename the startup php files. The module files are also in the two separate locations, depending upon your install process.
NOTE: If you start copying over modules and do not see them under the Admin function , you likely have the wrong modules folder.
Prerspectoff, apologies thought you were a Ubuntu person who wrote the conflicting install script.

Ubuntu install
Don't listen to the other guy.
Easy instructions are found at Ubuntuguide.org or Kubuntuguide.org.
Basically, instead of using apt-get install, as done in this example:
sudo apt-get install drupal6
you can just search for the drupal6 package in Synpatics and install it from there.
Then from the command-line Terminal restart the apache2 server:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
then go into the program from your browser:
http://localhost/drupal6/install.php
Not very hard at all, if you're using Synaptics.
Ubuntu install using synaptic vs. manual
Folks,
The synaptic and 'apt-get install' script puts Drupal files into /user/share/drupal6 folders; while the manual install steps provided 'everywhere' has you copy the files into /var/www/drupal. It become a problem if the synaptic install fails and then go to manual install OR you need to move/rename the startup php files. The module files are also in the two separate locations, depending upon your install process.
NOTE: If you start copying over modules and do not see them under the Admin function , you likely have the wrong modules folder.
