I have recorded the steps to set up TurboGears on a XEN-based VPS that only
came with a minimal Ubuntu Dapper install, and I think I have really recorded
every step I took and it runs without problems.
Please see the attached file for details. Ignore the first five and the last
three steps.
HTH, Chris
