Have installed and enabled the feeds module. When i go to create a "feed" content type, there is only a title and body field. There is nowhere to enter the url of the rss feed. Have i missed a step on the install?

have you worked through already existing documenation? = http://drupal.org/node/622698
Yes
Yes. I am using one of the included importers. I am using Feeds 6.x-1.0-beta11 and have installed chaos tools and job scheduler. I have two content types: feed and feed item. When i go to create "feed" content, the only fields shown are Title and Body. If i put info in the fields and hit save i am shown a view items tab that says "There are no items for this feed at the moment."
What would cause the content type for feeds not to have a url field?

IIRC you have to add your fields then map the data from the feed to the fields.
Ok. But do you have to
Ok. But do you have to create a field for the actual RSS feed link?

IIRC that is handled in the administration area similar to the core aggregation.module. Pretty sure feeds.module is dependent on the aggregator in core? Thus it's' possible that it uses that ui or the feeds ui.module that ships with feeds?
It may behoove to enable one of the feature modules that ships with feeds.module on a test site to better gauge how it all works together. If you haven't already.
