Hi,

I am studying drupal (drush/make/features) in order to automate the tasks for installing a drupal site. Ideally I'd like to use like site_create.sh and it would download, install the modules, create the database and activate the modules I define.

So far it seems that I can do almost everything with drush, drushmake and feature but I couldn't find info on actually creating the database and activating the modules.

Anyone care to share experiences with that (urls, tips etc)?

[ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]

In addition to drush, drush make and features have a look at Installation profiles, profiler (http://drupal.org/project/profiler) and profiler_builder (http://drupal.org/project/profiler_builder) which makes installation profiles a little simpler..

Also you may want to look into Aegir which I have just started looking at to create a dev/staging/live workflow with easy migrations..
