Hi, I create several Drupal sites often and find it a pain to always go throughs same process of installing modules, configuring base settings, etc. Is there an easier way to automate this process? I read a bit about installation profiles but found it pretty involved.
Could I technically just create a base site somewhere, and everytime I needed a new one copy all the files and the DB over to each new site and it'll be the same?

Yes, you can do this, but remember that you are still going to have to manually alter the settings.php file to reflect the new DB username and password, at a minimum, and quite possibly the .htaccess file if you need to uncomment the rewrite-base setting. I am not sure how much time and effort you will save, but it might be worth a try.
