[hackers] is an automatic installation script feasible?

[Shannon Little]

While at work tonight I put some thought into this project and what 
would be the ideal way to offer the tools.  I'm not sure if any of this 
could be done or not, so if it can't be done, just disregard this 
message.

As I demonstrated earlier...usability for the average person is crucial 
to make this project the most it can be.  I've used other CMS/portal 
programs that had automatic installation scripts incorporated into the 
program.  This would be an ideal way to package these tools.  Is there 
a way to offer a Dean specific release of drupal that utilizes an 
auto-install script?  The easiest way to install would be to simply 
upload all the files to your server and then point to an install.php 
page that used form input for people to enter their configuration info. 
 This would eliminate the need to adjust the config.php file.  If all 
people had to do was create the main database (or even use an existing 
one for people who only have one database), upload files and point 
their browser to the install.php page and answer the questions it would 
be really simple to set up a Dean tools drupal site.

I think this would be the ideal way to package the tools, IF it can be 
done.  Any thoughts?
