Installation profiles
Installation profiles are a feature in Drupal core that was added in the 5.x series. The Drupal installer allows you to specify an installation profile which defines which modules should be enabled, and can customize the new installation after they have been installed. This will allow customized "distributions" that enable and configure a set of modules that work together for a specific kind of site (Drupal for bloggers, Drupal for musicians, Drupal for developers, and so on).

ELMS
Here's some of the modules that are currently out there that will be packaged into the ELMS installation profile:
Outline Designer - Allows you to drag-and-drop / right-click your way to creating book structures (originally called ELMS / Course Designer)
HTML Export - Allows you to export Drupal sites to a portable HTML format.
Search and Replace - Search your Drupal content and make massive replaces quickly (life saver at times)

Hostmaster
This information was copied from the Overview wiki entry on the Hostmaster group.
This project has not had a release yet, and if you are not interested in helping develop the system, it is not recommended that you install it at this time.
What is Hostmaster?
Hostmaster is a distributed instance management system, that allows you to administrate many Drupal sites across one or more servers, through a Drupal based administration front end. It is designed to help solve many of the common problems that administrators come across when providing mass hosting solutions, by providing a turn-key solution to deploying and managing Drupal sites and related services.
What do I need to run Hostmaster?
The primary requirement for being able to run the system, is having full access to the machine you intend to run Hostmaster on. Due to the types of access and configuration required, Hostmaster will not run in a shared hosting environment. A unix environment is recommended, as many features might not available on a windows based host.
Furthermore, because Hostmaster is Drupal based, it requires that you meet the requirements for running Drupal on your server.

Drupal Developer
This profile is aimed to make development installations easier. Containing the settings I often use in my dev setups, so using this profile I don't have to bother about adding blocks, installing my used custom modules, setting user permissions to test.
Initial Drupal username/password: drupal/drupal
WARNING: this profile contains potentially dangerous user settings, permissions, do not use it on a live site.
Dependencies
- devel module
- admin menu module
Roadmap
My further aim is to roll a drupal installation tarball based on this profile every time there is a new release of the required modules, download them and include them in this one distribution tarball. Until this is done I am rolling them manually, can be found on the homepage link.
Suggestions
You are more than welcome to suggest additions, settings to the profile. I will try to keep the functionality on a certain minimum, but am open to new ideas, suggestions.

SQL
This is a very simple install profile. You can use it to copy a site from your dev server to your deployment server. It reads the SQL file query by query (split by ";" at the end of lines) so it shouldn't run out of memory, or time-out (like PHPMyAdmin will on big dumps if you upload them)
You need to create a PHPMyAdmin dump (or mysql dump, if you know what you are doing) of your running site.
Here are the settings for PHPMyAdmin :
- Select all tables
- Structure: DROP (and nothing else), Data: Complete Inserts, Extended Inserts (and nothing else), Save As File: SQL
After you create this dump, put it in the same dir as the install profile as site.sql.
Install with the profile, then move (or delete) the sql file out of your webroot.
