If you ignore the fact that I don't seem to know the difference between a four pin connector, a six pin and an eight, it's not that bad of a tutorial. :D

Great video Gene! It is a clear and concise explanation of what needs done to complete the adapter. I found this link to a video on basic soldering on electronics. You may want to include a link to something like this to give pure noobs a place to learn how to solder in general.

Gene, the two headers facing away from the RAMBo were inside keyed boxes in my kit. Did they cost-reduce these? The boxes are useful because they only let you attach the cables one way.

Foshon: Updated the description with the link. Thanks!

dbarrans: This is the only RamboLCD kit I've seen, so I wasn't aware of what they were shipping before. Using a keyed socket is a good idea.
