Probably not; .reg files should be run with care, most n00bs wouldn't even use it anyway. Plus, you'd have to tweak the install path of Minetest by hand.

And then connect to the server from ingame. Right now finding and contacting a server with *the version of the game one actualy has* is quite difficult. A new player who just wants to dig and build a bit will most linkely have given up in frustration early on. And that is a pity because it is a great game.

And what is if minetest.net is down?
