I need to be able to create sites setting certain site defaults. I'm assuming this would need to be done from a profile?

Child sites should:

create specific content pages
- home
- about
- contact
- custom 1
- custom 2
give parent site admin full admin rights
give child site creator limited admin rights
- select site theme
- NOT allowed to create new content, only edit the pre-created page above and move blocks
- fill in site information (site name, e-mail address)

However, I see nothing in the documentation about creating profiles.

Any suggestions on how best to go about this?

It's kind of the backwater of Drupal dev :-(
http://drupal.org/node/159730

I'd recommend using one from here:
http://drupal.org/project/Installation+profiles
that does similar things to what you want and editing it.

I really wish the admin stuff was better permissioned out. But I've got the bulk of it done. Thanks for the links.

The installation profile tutorials are really poor. Maybe when I finish this project I'll make some new ones.
