+This configuration is based heavily on the guide I found here: [Vim Zero](https://www.oliversherouse.com/posts/vim_zero.html) which does exactly what I am aiming to do here: wipe the slate clean and start over.
 
 Whenever possible, I've noted the URL from which I found the setting or snippet.  I try to insist that not everything is self-explanatory.
 
 ## Installation
 
-Without the Ansible playbook, just clone this repo to a directory and create a few symlinks:
-
-```sh
-ln -s dotfiles-vim/.vimrc $HOME/.vimrc
-ln -s dotfiles-vim/.vim $HOME/.vim
-```
+Clone this repo to a directory and run the `create-links.sh` script. CAUTION: this will remove any existing `.vimrc` and `.vim` directories and replace them with soft links to the files in this repository.
 
 Then open vim and install (or update) the plugins with `:PlugInstall` (or `:PlugUpdate`)
