Perfect! first machine (at work , at home fs_cli got a connection error ) worked first try! I am running to an issue on the second machine though. when it gets to the install-newfies.sh script, it doesnt come up with the purple/blue/whatever screen that asks for a mysql password, goes straight to the what host/username/password/database name portion. then since I didnt have a password set at the end of it it just restarts that portion. any ideas?
EDIT: also seems to be missing something called virtualenvwrapper.sh when booting / virtualenv in general (found it out trying to use sqlite. said a whole bunch of commands were unavailable and that it was missing. is that something I can just download with apt-get?)
edit2: I found this:

I want to try the top portion but I'm afraid of screwing up my installation since on the machines I'm using it takes about 3 hours to get to this point in the process. and I've done it soooooooooo many times. My boss is getting mad.
