Open Stack

Hi,

Would be very interesting for me to see in the "Launching an instance"
scenario what happens in a bare first-login situation. "Create an
internal network", "create a router", "connect internal net to router &
set external net as gateway", "create Floating IPs" are all totally
non-obviou ssteps if your endgame is being able to SSH into the instance
(which is, I think, a reasonable target for the endgame).

Cheers,
Dave.
