Is there a way to "pre-install" my own files like the modx template site

I have been making alot of sites lately for clients and I find myself re-creating alot of TV’s and chunks that I use for each client... like google sitemap ditto, my navigation snippets, my description / keywords chunks / as well as always installing EASYEDIT and ZenCoding.

I also strip all JQuery 1.3 out of modx and replace it with 1.4.2 and then modify everything that use to use 1.3 to use 1.4 (Manager, Quick Edit, etc)

Is there a way for me to customize my own installs so that all of this happens automatically? Usually I just save all my assets / manager / files and just dump them in a site and upgrade rather than clean install... but I still have to install my plugins...

anyone have any better idea’s that would help me get up and running on new clients quicker?

Thanks!

on 1.x or 2.x ?

Zurie,

Seems to me like it would be easy enough to just make a barebones version of what you want...then dump the database. For each new site that you want to start out like this...just use your database dump and do an advanced upgrade install.

If you wanted to create an an actual normal install with all of these items...I assume you could just edit "setup.sql" in the "install" folder and do what you needed to there.. but it seems like it would be just as easy to do a dump and advanced upgrade install..
