* (tom) The README file the installer displays is not really helpful. What we really need there is a very small file which basically just points people to http://megaglest.org/get-started.html - even better would be if the installer could just open this location when it finishes (other installers can do this, possibly ours, too).

Why not just have the same content on http://megaglest.org/get-started.html appear in a plain text form in the read me? (eg: copy and paste the text, with maybe some equal signs or some other method of making the headers looks like headers, as plain text could not use that kind of formatting. Posting just a link or trying to retrieve the information from the net is a bad idea for those who have no internet connection or are not actively connected. Besides, the page is really just plain text, so it's a waste to link to the page when you can just copy the text without losing any meaning at all.
