Single Line Wordpress Install

I'm getting a pro at installing Wordpress now.I'm trying to cut down my install time to a minimum.

Here's a one line Linux command to;

• Download the latest Wordpress.
• Unzip, move files from the wordpress/ directory to the root.
• Clean up some unnecessary files.
• Create some necessary files.
• Set some necessary permissions.

wget http://wordpress.org/latest.zip &&
unzip latest.zip &&
mv wordpress/* . &&
touch robots.txt sitemap.xml sitemap.xml.gz .htaccess &&
chmod 777 robots.txt sitemap.xml sitemap.xml.gz .htaccess
&& rm license.txt readme.html latest.zip &&
mkdir wp-content/uploads &&
chmod 777 wp-content/uploads

Now I just need to create the MySQL database and user from that command and I'm laughing.
