Thanks for the report of the subdirectory issue. Just made this ticket for
it here:
http://projects.opengeo.org/CAPRA/ticket/812
<http://projects.opengeo.org/CAPRA/ticket/812>Will try to fix this before
the 1.0 release.

Please ask on IRC. We are working on improving the documentation that is in
the git repository (the Sphinx sources under docs/) but currently the IRC
channel will be the quickest way to get a GeoNode site set up.

As I told you at FOSS4G, I'm targeting the RHEL/CentOS 5 platform (and
working under it as my desktop).
From what I have seen on the GIT home page, requirements are:
- Java 1.5+ (I'm using OpenJdk 1.6, but I also have Sun JDK 1.5
installed in case of)
- Python 2.6 (python26 from EPEL repo should do)
- GEOS, GDAL/OGR (we have the latest stable versions thanks to our
ELGIS repo coordinated through OSGeo)
Please just tell me in case I'm missing something important: I don't
want to bother you if I first need to backport some dependencies to
CentOS 5.
One of my middle term goals is to add GeoNode to the ELGIS repo.

We were running the GeoNode demo site on CentOS 5 until a few months ago and
I expect that a new deployment on that platform will work fine. We actually
built Python 2.6 from sources on that machine, but I believe EPEL's Python
package will be perfectly suitable.
Most of us in the channel are around from 9 to 6 Eastern time. If that's
not going to work for you we can fall back to the mailing list (probably the
best thing in that case would be for me to publish a set of installation
instructions and then we can troubleshoot our way through those, updating
the docs as needed.)

That still leaves plenty of time :)
Meet you soon on IRC then!
