 * Hi,
 * I install several blogs a week with lots of plugins – how can I make it that 
   these plugins are already installed by default (so I don’t have to manually activate
   them)?
 * Thanks for the help,
    Bamboobee

 * Just update `active_plugins` option at install time (`wp_install` function at`
   wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php`) or do it from your theme’s `functions.php` file
