Thanks for all the input on this thread, and for the hard work trying to make everything easier for a beginner. I actually do really like the fact that we now start with no cores, it was just a bit of a shock. It sounds like it's a relatively straightforward thing to fire off a CoreAdmin 'curl' command after startup that will populate an example core, and the conf directory is probably easy to locate in the download too. I just ask that this information be added to the immediately available docs (README.txt and similar). I did not check the tutorial ... if it's not already there, it probably should be.
