To reveal them, use your browser "select all" function (for most browsers, you can use "Ctrl+A").

==Modules, themes and languages==

The packages now contains the system module, along with a content module and a profile module. You are invited to browse the ImpressCMS Addons web site at http://addons.impresscms.org to get additional modules, themes and languages you need.

The Protector module is installed by default with a new installation of ImpressCMS for additional protection and logging capabilities to your site.
