In that case, great!

Yes, I agree. A lot of people install Rockbox and after five minutes draft experienced, they uninstall, reverting back to original firmware, taking a missed and bad impression of Rockbox
That's why I attached some essential infos, IMO, on all my tutorials http://forums.rockbox.org/index.php?topic=8339.msg64940#msg64940
I think there are 3 relevant points:
1) The WPS theme/fonts is out of doubt, the 1st important.
2) But, at least For iPod users, the rebuild database info is very helpfully, cause most of "initial" users will prefer to rebuild the database, to work in harmony with iTunes/iPod, instead of drag and drop all your data, abandoning the Apple method of navigation.
3) Many people interested in trying Rockbox do not know that will be easily possible to alternate between the original firmware and Rockbox OS. This information is sufficiently tranquilizer.
It is clearly that for everything this, exists a thing called: MANUAL. But if at least these basic information could be emphasized right in the Installation page, Rockbox will have much more users, certainly.

Nate!:
This topic is so important. I don't have anything to add. I just know I've seen many in the Gigabeat community who try this great piece of software only to sort of flame the effort after seeing the initial view. Grant it, said people apparently don't bother reading other posts nor the manual which explicitly state the need for customization after install.
I sincerely believe that creating targeted default configs would definately further the Rockbox community.

Maybe the default theme could have a background prominently displaying RTFM!
