Since it seems that the download page in its current and that proposed form requires JavaScript anyways, why not use JavaScript to detect the conditions of the target environment and offer one tailored default download with an option for "other downloads" in the fashion that firefox does it or in the fashion that i implemented on http://marketing.openoffice.org/tryouts/Why.OpenOffice.org/en/download.htm ? A Firefox like implementation could well replace the download button on the main page and turn it into a one-click-download, with the "other downloads" link pointing to the download page. To clarify: It is well possible to check via JavaScript for: * operating system * operating system language * presence of Java runtime (in the browser) These are all implemented on the above link. Of course, this would require to maintain the JavaScript file in regards to new releases. My implementation is here, if one wants to have a look: http://marketing.openoffice.org/tryouts/Why.OpenOffice.org/scripts/preconfigDL.js André.
