Yea, it probably did. Every time I run the network install it seems
to update one or two packages.

You shouldn't need to be admin to run any of this. I run it on
boxes without admin priviledges and it runs just fine. I haven't
tried having a username with a space in it, but I don't think that's
normally allowed in Unix, so that's likely to cause problems.
Glad you have it transmitting. Just a bit of clean-up to do yet and
the AGWPE stuff will be more useful for people. I want to be able
to specify the PATH in the Properties dialog for that interface and
to get the AGWPE login/password frame working properly.
