Clone Mu (Rapid Deployment)

My goal is to create…

A fresh “stock install” to rapidly deployfrom a “clone-able” install
with all the plugins and themes already loaded with no sites or
blog content/comments…

It takes soo long to upload each plugin, theme, and set all the
settings. For each network MU I setup, I do the same 100 steps
everytime.

Looking for a way to save time… The 5 minute “MU Setup” ??

-BAMF

PS: I could use a list of steps. I’ve attempted using the above
tar.gz unzip to a new domain or directory and a “find and replace”
for my /sql/wp-config/.htaccess.

Results = my “Super Admin” and “Plugins” area inside the admin
area didn’t show up at all. What am I missing?

Here’s what’s missing (screenshot)

I have a hunch that there is no “Super Admin” assigned to this
network and need to find the table and settings in the SQL files to
change and raise the access/permisson to the current administrator
account.

1) Where can I find the setting to change “user level/role” in SQL
tables?

2) What is the setting to make a user “SuperAdmin”?
