Fixed the links... apparently my install instructions were overwritten resulting in some of the bad links.
For others, it was just OpenOffice.org weirdness. 
Attached an update version to the first post. Also, I created a forum here for Installation Profiles, as I agree they need to happen. I'd love to see them brainstormed and planned here and then put up on Drupal.org as actual installation profile projects. After that, let's keep them in the Drupal community and move forward from there.
Perhaps we can put together a resources post to make sticky in the forum once the idea picks up steam.
