How River2 installs

There's been a fair amount of drift as River2 has been incorporated into Blork. Now when I do a fresh install of River2 in a fresh install of the OPML Editor, I get something that's fairly useless. True, if you know how to set the options you can have a very fine aggregator in just a few steps. But why not make it so that it's nice if you don't do anything.
Here's my test server: http://hello.scripting.com/river2/
It starts up correctly with an admin user, and a made-up password.
But I can access it from the local system? Yes.
Here are some problems: There are no feeds on the Feeds page of the default install. There is no news on the Home page. (Same problem really.)
However, the onInstall script sets all this stuff up correctly, but it must not have finished running? When I ran it again all was good.
