Rather than take a distro and follow instructions to configure it, I am looking for a preconfigured image file which I can write to SD and just use.

Is there one, or is configuration absolutely necessary?

[Update] As @Jaromanda points out in comments, configuration is absolutely necessary.

Perhaps a front end script, runnable in Windows / Linux to ask a few questions and configure a standard distro would be nice.

Alternatively the Onion Omega range, (which is a great price for price competitor), comes with an access point enabled, which makes headless configuration much simpler. A similar distro would be very welcome. In fact, I will write to the maintainer of Rapsbian and suggest it.

I would alsoaccept a distro where I can see the Linux file system on the SD card. For Raspbian, all that I can see are a bunch of *.pdb files, which I imagine are decompressed at boot time. If I could see the file system under Windows, I could easily edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ etc.

[Further update] it looks like this will do it. I will try it tonight & report back

I have an image at the bottom of this article -

If you follow the instructions under Headless Install of Raspbian Stretch Lite you should be able to connect to it.

Comitup looks like a good bet as well.

This answer might help with any problems with the supplicant.conf file : Raspberry Pi Zero W headless using wpa_supplicant.conf not working

And of course you can start with a fresh image from here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
