Good. Maybe it would be a good idea to put a md5sum and size of the packages on 
the download page?

Anyway, WPKG Client 1.4 is being worked on, and most stuff from 
http://wpkg.org/TODO_list#WPKG_Client will be addressed (hopefully: there are 
still some tests running if it's possible to start the whole routine properly on 
shutdown/reboot).


There are some problems with the reported logon delay window being shown longer 
than necessary (i.e., when the network cable is not plugged in), but the bug is 
harder to spot than expected.
If anyone has a system which shown this behaviour, and can offer a remote login, 
please let me know.
