Could not have said it better myself.... that is exactly what I'm looking for and can't seem to find. ...
I still haven't found one either, but here's what I'm doing in the mean time
(post-installation):

  • Printed the FAQs & PDF manual.....easier to find things (IMHO) than
    the PDF.
  • finally figured out the override system (with the help of several
    patient posts from Merlin & others), and by reading the info in the FAQs
    and at the Wiki.....really pretty easy.
  • Created a custom template using another template with my css
    and graphics.....haven't tried modifying the .tpl files yet.
  • Used CraftZombie's No Login files (coded by PaulM)
    http://craftzombie.com/zencart/No_Ac...-dec-29-06.zip
  • am replacing categories & products, removing sideboxes,
    banners, etc in a demo cart rather than start with an empty cart....
    there are so many bells & whistles in Zen Cart!
I'm not sure how others have gone about it.....maybe if they just
put what they did (basically) & in what order it would be sufficient to
get a new user off in the right direction.

E.g. "After installing ZenCart I did this, then that, etc...." There may be such a thread already(?)
If there isn't one, I'll start it off if no one else does.
