Hey folks, the kitchen is not a newbie environment - if you're lost with the kitchen, you are probably way WAY better off using someone else's prebuilt ROM image.

Building a ROM isn't hard but it is complicated. I don't know about the rest of the folks cooking up roms, but I've got a background in software development, I've built my own linux kernel, etc... and this stuff is just a variation on all the stuff I already know how to do.

If you have no idea what you are doing, then you might well do something not so good.

So, to recap... using the Rom Kitchen to build a rom is like building your operating system for your computer - if you don't do that for your computer, don't do it for your phone.

Now that said, you cannot do any damage at all by downloading the kitchen, installing .NET CF 2.0 on your machine (the one you've downloaded the kitchen on) Opening the readme.txt file, and trying to build a rom following the steps there. Play with it until you are comfortable with what you are doing, or if you never get comfortable use one of the prebuilt roms!
