Wow. Michael, this helps a lot. Thanks.
But now I have some other questions...

Yes, that makes sense. But having the LegOS image would save the "Beginning LegOS User" from needing to learn how to build that stuff, when that knowledge (how to build the image) is only required once.
I know for some people, it's easier to build the image locally, than it is to download it. But for us simple 'Windows' users, it may be easier just to download it.

One suggestion would be to provide all the nasty batch files for the not-so-advanced Windows user...

hmm. I'm pretty sure that's what I have on my machine. However, like I said before, I had some help setting it up. I don't remember exactly what we (he) did to get it working. I'll try and see just what I have.

I don't like that idea.
Thanks for the answers
Steve
