Here's something else you might find useful....
Crashtest has put together a pretty good "OMV Beginners" Guide.... While it's certainly not all inclusive of every little issue you could run into, a lot of new users have found it useful...
A guide like that is essentially the biggest reason I wanted to reach out for help. That and sepecific questions. I was lamenting the lack of a specific guide in my own head. So this is perfect. Thank you.
