I copied gallery2 into the modules folder of drupal, however when trying to complete the instruction
"Enable the gallery module in administer -> modules in your drupal installation"
(see Installation instruction 5. --> link)
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:How_to_Embed_Gallery2_in_Drupal#Installation
the gallery2 module doesn't come up in the list of modules
Also I don't see the "settings" submenu under Home -> "administer"
administer -> settings -> gallery
I see "post settings" under content management
or "user settings" under user management
or "search settings" under site configuration
is one of thses setting the settings that they mean?
or are these instructions for a different version?
"
my drupal link so far
http://www.briansdesign.com/drupal/
Drupal 5.1
Gallery 2.2
Also looking at the files in the various module folders I see that they have 3 or 4 files
e.g. forum.css forum.info forum.install forum.module my gallery2 folder I uploaded into drupal (it is the multsite folder) doesn't have any of these files that I know of. (just the g2data, lib and upgrade folders, and the config, embed, index, and main.php files.
Any ideas?

You may want to reread the instructions. Sounds like you may be confusing the gallery2 folder with gallery.module, both of which you must download and install separately. Looks like you have gallery2. Did you download the Drupal gallery.module from http://drupal.org/project/gallery
The gallery.module file should be placed into your Drupal modules folder, but not the root drupal modules folder.
For most installs, gallery.module file belongs in /drupal/sites/yoursite/modules/
For multisite Drupal/Gallery installs, gallery.module belongs in /drupal/sites/all/modules/
The gallery2 application folder can go anywhere and you'll tell Drupal where it's install and enable gallery.module.

Thanks, it was a little bit confusing, I was under the (mistaken) impression that gallery2 was the module, so it might be a good idea for them to link to the module download
http://drupal.org/project/gallery
on instruction 4.
http://drupal.galleryembedded.com/index.php?title=Installation
Also they could make it clearer (in the instructions) the folder the module goes in "entire gallery module directory to your drupal modules/ directory." .. but is pretty clear if you do download and open the gallery module.
Thanks for you help

Thats not correct! Depending on the nature of your site (single-/multi-site) it might be advisable to place the modules under /sites/x/modules, but thats not a requirement. You can safely put them into /modules directly.

Thanks for the clarification profix898. I run multisite mostly and am in the habbit of placing modules in /sites/x/modules for standalone sites too. I assumed that it was a recommendation or best practice to keep non-core modules out of /modules.
