profiles

Following para in Chapter 4 doesn't make any sense. Can't find link. Don't know where to look.
When you’re starting a new site, it is often handy to be able to
import a whole bunch of files at once, instead of having to upload
them all one by one—for example,
when you have files on your computer that you want to upload, or a
previous website that hosted media files. The Media module provides a
way to do this. If you navigate to Content→Files, and then click the “Import media” link
(admin/content/file/import), you’ll see a field
where you can enter a directory from which to import files, as shown
on Figure 4-20 (you can also use a file
matching pattern to limit the files that will be uploaded). Enter the
name of the directory (for example, sites/default/files/my_pictures) where your
files are, click Preview, and then click Confirm to pull all those
files into Drupal. The files will immediately be ready for use in the
media browser. Note that you need the “Import media files from the
local filesystem” permission to be able to import media files this
way.

Chapter 4 promised to be a chapter about building an on-line photo gallery. It's about building a record review site. Nothing to do with a gallery.

Page 1 is fictitious. I'm reading the Kobo E-book version and cannot determine the actual page number.
Chapter 3: I have attempted to install with the chapter 3 installation profile using the method described in the book. But I am getting a large number of warnings (although the site does finally appear after that). I assume I am supposed to use the (old) version of Drupal that came with the source code for this. The warnings are all similar to this:
Notice: Array to string conversion in menu_link_save() (line 3155 of /home/david/programming/drupal/usingdrupalsource7/drupal-7/includes/menu.inc).
But there are hundreds of them. I have PHP 5.4.6 if that helps.
What should I do?

The size of the file 'firebird.png' is larger than 2 megabytes, however, the
'upload_max_filesize' in 'php.ini' for Apache on a stock Ubuntu install is '2M'. Thus many folks will encounter an error during this step. Perhaps the book should mention this.

I've noticed there's a patch related to this problem in the source code, but I don't know where to use it with the patch command. I've tried in the drupal directory, also in the includes directory and in the site directory as well. It would be nice to get some feedback.
Thanks in advance

The CKEditor inserts '<p>' tags. However, in the Drupal install that comes with the book's source code, '<p>' tags are not allowed. I had to enable them:
Configuration -> Text formats -> Filtered HTML -> configure -> Limit allowed HTML tags -> Add '<p>' to the list.

The book says that the install profile will provide a default container "General discussion" as well as two forums. However, they are not available with the install profile for this chapter.
