Perhaps I overlooked it in the docs, but I can't find mention of what directories to install things in. I am aware some "files" are within the .war file, but surely not everything needs to be gathered in there.
There is mention of a "geoserver" directory, but not where that belongs. So I can't try the documented files/configurations.
The .war file I put in Jetty's "webapps" dir. Being within that dir, I can run start.jar and access port localhost:8080. I am able to see welcome.do, admin/index.do, config/index.do, demo.do.
However, a number of pages have "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below." as a header, followed by XML schema info. For example, geoserver/wfs/GetCapabilities and Demo>describe.xml.
I was able to add a PostGIS data store through the Config web interface and see a list of the data columns for it, so something is working.
Trying the geoserver.1.2.0.rc1-docs.zip files in several directories didn't find the proper place for those either.

The exceptions are very small (most files need to be included) as some
systems have limited file access from within Java when running a
web-service (ie. Tomcat user executing Java). Therefor the entire binary
in included in the .war (web app).

This will be created when you start your web-server (part of the war
unpack process).

This is expected. The WFS specification does not specify an xslt file to
use for viewing the XML response data. Therefore you are using your
system's default style (sounds like Mozila in this case).

Good to hear

These are just read only, and can be put anywhere convenient for you
(they are not linked to the app).
