This thing really looks interesting! :-)

I see one small downside: If the files are unpacked by the server, he will
be the owner of these files. In most cases, the webserver is running as a
different user than the real client is working as.

This results in missing permissions for doing changes through FTP, right?!
(The only way to solve this seems to be to chmod the files with a+rw.)

So the question is: Does your package include a 'filemanager' where things
can be maintained just like through an FTP client? Thus it would still be
working with the privileges of the webserver...

One slash too much! These links don't work at least with Konqueror.

OK, added it to my bookmarks.

Yes! So I can simply download it and use the stuff?! :-)

Hmmm, maybe repost this message on the Typo3 Linux Install list
