Thanks! - good to have a checklist that can be handled point by point
without having to read the thread again.

I removed the wJRE and wrote that JRE adds about 20-30 MB)

done. But I used "Java (JRE)" only, since otherwise the text will be too
long and eventually wrap..

Yes. because I think these options actually /are/ important.
Downloading with or without JRE makes a big difference IMHO.

done.

done.

I also don't very much like it since it collapses the list-boxes unless
you hold and click.. 
I guess that was the reason why I changed it in the first place....
Apart from that it "steals" the onclick events for the other elements,
rendering the design unusable.

As a mid-term solution I incorporated the two paragraphs into the
clickable-area (so not the whole box, but all the text that is visible
initially.

(per language-basis)
Making it per-version would be possible, but doesn't make much sense
IMHO. 
And the "other" platforms will be "hardcoded" (i.e. not "configured")

The server-URL is stored in a hidden (not displayed) form-element...

Modifying the link targed probably would involve some ugly
document.write stuff and is not necessary IMHO....
