Many other organisations that distribute software through the use of a disk image also include a readme file in the base of the archive that explains how to install. Some even go a step further by using a special image background that has the install instructions in the image. Other software distributors will use a combination of both.
Would it be possible to have a readme file include in the disk image to explain to people about the build that they have just downloaded?
