+Installation profiles define additional steps that run after the base
+installation provided by Drupal core when Drupal is first installed.
+
+WHAT TO PLACE IN THIS DIRECTORY?
+--------------------------------
+
+Place downloaded and custom installation profiles in this directory.
+Installation profiles are generally provided as part of a Drupal distribution.
+They only impact the installation of your site. They do not have any effect on
+an already running site.
+
+DOWNLOAD ADDITIONAL DISTRIBUTIONS
+---------------------------------
+
+Contributed distributions from the Drupal community may be downloaded at
+https://www.drupal.org/project/project_distribution.
+
+MULTISITE CONFIGURATION
+-----------------------
+
+In multisite configurations, installation profiles found in this directory are
+available to all sites during their initial site installation.
+
+MORE INFORMATION
+----------------
+
+Refer to the "Installation profiles" section of the README.txt in the Drupal
+root directory for further information on extending Drupal with custom profiles.
