Does the VM have the READMEs inside of it? If it does, it should be sufficient to tell them only what is needed at that time, namely instructions on how to obtain VirtualBox, the VM image, and steps to get it up-and-running. That would go into a file (named RELEASE_NOTES_README.txt or *README* something, just so that sf.net automatically displays it). With that, there'd only need to be one file to download -- namely the VM image -- since the instructions would get auto-displayed. > The RELEASE-NOTES.txt has this: > > The "*.ova" file in this directory is a Virtual Machine (VM) built and > tested on a Windows 7 64-bit host of Oracle's VirtualBox (using > version 4.1.10: http://virtualbox.org/).

I can write that up if you'd like. Before they've downloaded the image, they don't really need instructions on things they'd do inside the VM image. Hopefully those are files already inside the VM image anyways. Cheers!
