 * Hello all,
 * I am quite new to wordpress, have done 3 installs so far and I am looking for
   a bit of help, or even a push in the right direction.
 * What I am trying to do is create a custom install.
 * The reason for this script is becuase I will be creating quite a few websites
   over the next couple of months, all with the same structure. Obviously the images,
   banners and content will be different but the underlying format will be the same.
 * I want to set up a wordpress site with a few pre-made pages, such as privacy,
   contact us etc. that will have a few plugins installed and configured. The plugins
   will be for seo, contact page, the usual sort of things.
 * Can anyone give me a few pointers on how I should go about this?
 * Thanks in advance

 * You could Eport the pages and Import them for each site.
    As for the Plugins 
   you can put them into the set of files yo are copying from.

 * but as far as making it totally automatic so that the website is set up with 
   one click, do you know do many people do this through custom install scripts?
 * I’m hoping for a few examples so that I have a starting point.

 * That’s why they give you the big bucks. You will have to write something yourself.
