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).
Backup and Migrate Installation Profile
The Backup and Migrate Installation Profile allows you to restore from a database backup file created by version 2 of Backup and Migrate during installation.

Travian guild
¿What is travian?
Travian is a browser game featuring a world with thousands of other real players. One begins the game acting as a chief of a tiny village. Alliances are groups of players playing together.
¿What is this profile for?
Unfortunately the alliance features in the travian server are not enough most of the times, and guilds tend to use external services to keep track of in game activities. This module will setup a drupal site with the features needed for a travian guild, to provide the missing resources in the game.

Drupal Social Network Framework Install Profile
This install profile ties existing contrib modules together to more easily create Drupal-powered social networking sites.
The purpose of this project is to integrate existing social networking features together, to extend Drupal to include "typical" social networking features, and to create a baseline for social network functionality.
For more information on the development of this profile, see the DSNF Wiki. This project is funded by the Google Summer of Code 2009.
This install profile does not yet fully work.
The profile depends on External Links and Devel at the moment.

packgr
packgr is a multistep installer for Drupal 6 that allows the selection and configuration of multiple 'Packages' upon installation of a new Drupal site.
View a screencast of packgr in action.
How it works
It is implemented as an install profile, which a user can choose upon installing a new instance of Drupal. Upon completion of the basic site configuration information, the user is given a change to select multiple 'Packages' which can define multiple tasks, forms, and modules to enable. The installer than walks the user through each step of each package, presenting forms and updating the status of installed packages.
Behind the scenes
Each package consists of a packagename.inc file located in the packgr/packages directory. This file contains two hooks, one to define the info about the package, and another to define default tasks and their callbacks. Please look at the Default package included with packgr for more examples.
