Install works

Tested successfully within ubuntu:noble container 👍

Unclear parts:

Not clear for user that you need to install rti-connext-dds-6.0.1 to get it to run

Maybe personal but the rmw implementation library names are confusing:
For Fast DDS -> rmw_fastrtps_cpp (and not rmw_fastdds_cpp)
For Cyclone DDS -> rmw_cyclonedds_cpp
For Connext DDS -> rmw_connext (without the _cpp)

Oh, right. For the binary install, you need to install that separately (it comes in automatically when you use Debian packages). I'd definitely be for adding something explaining how to do that, but I don't really know where we would add it. Do you have any suggestions?

I made an attempt here ros2/ros2_documentation@a6bc319 WDYT ?

Edit: attempt is here ros2/ros2_documentation#4369

Since we are iterating on the fix over in the ros2_documentation PR, and this test was otherwise successful, I'm going to close this out. Thanks for testing.
