Actually, the Starter System document was written specifically for someone that had little or no z/VM *or* Linux background. The intent was to help someone get off ground zero as fast as possible, and that people using it would come to IBMVM and Linux-390 for help once they'd done that. We didn't think there would be any way to do that, and have an installation document that incorporated so-called best practices (I really, really dislike that term) when setting up their actual proof of concept servers.
