I followed the step-by-step instructions greg so kindly posted, and added a few annotations where the install seemed to take a really long time without progress reports from Linux.
This was a plain Rackspace instantiation on Lucid Lynx.
Greg, thanks for the great job!
Couple of questions:
- I seemed to need to run this command twice:
sudo bcfg2 -vqed. It just hangs after the first install, it seems. Have others reported that? - I needed to manually set up the mySQL database. Perhaps related to #1 above, perhaps not.
In any case, it's running and rather snappy. As soon as my DNS resolves itself, I want to get a multisite set up.
Thanks again!

re: Rackspace Setup on Lucid
We've not experienced having to run bcfg2 -vqed twice on lucid - but it was an issue in Jaunty and Karmic. Have you reproduced this issue?
The mysql DB get's created by the /etc/mercury/init.sh script which will run on first reboot (or should be run by hand - see Step 10).
Thanks and hope this helps,
Greg

Reproductive Rights
Well, I had the "run bcfg2 -vqed twice" experience on two separate setups (burned the first one and came back to do it again). If I am the only one, that's fine. I'll try another setup on rackspace later on to see if it's still true.
When I ran init.sh, it just hanged.
I would not be surprised if these are all related to an early overlooked failure of something to start right for me. Again, if I am the only one, I am not worried....
re: Reproductive Rights
What is happening the first time you run bcfg2 -vqed?
Note that the previous command "sudo bcfg2-admin xcmd Packages.Refresh" produces no output and can take a while to run.
Also note that the init.sh takes quite a while to run - you can monitor it from a second terminal with "tail -f /etc/mercury/bootlog.sh".
Hope this helps,
Greg

Okay, I think that the problem was impatience
I did not read the readme and did not wait long enough, I think, for bcfg2 -vqed to run. I think it may make sense to add a note of that to the wiki, but am insufficiently sure of being right here to do that particular thing.
Those no output commands can lead one into error if one is not sure how long to wait.
Thanks!
