Ok, I finally got Devkitpro working (I upgraded to 1.4.3).
Now the only thing I wonder is: Why is there no offline Version of Devkitpro like Palib ?
Could you Devkitpro guys please compile the newest version so we can use it offline ?

Offline version? devkitPro has no online aspect except the updater.

To start a new devkitARM project while offline, copy a project template from the example folder to another folder, and then open the .pnproj file.

I mean what the updater does just offline.

Do you mean download on one machine and install on another machine that doesn't have high-speed Internet access?

Yes, he means an installer that doesn't connect to the internet.
Here's how to install manually (without installer). You can download the packages yourself and install that way.

Thats nearly what I mean. I just thought about an executable that contains all that stuff and just installs without much user input. Isn't that possible ? BTW: That version there is older than 1.4.3, or ?

DevkitPro doesn't have versions. 1.4.3 is the version of the installer program. DevkitPro is just a name of a collection of tools. The interesting thing to know is the version of the tools, in your case devkitARM and libnds.
And yes, you will end up with the same versions no matter how you do the installation, since the installer downloads the latest packages from sourceforge.

I see "devkitPro 1.4.3" and read "the versions of devkitARM and libnds that were current as of the day devkitPro Updater 1.4.3 was released". Is this reasonable?

It works, but the idea suffers from several drawback. Most seriously, it leads inexperienced users to think that devkitPro has version numbers. What happens when an update to libnds it released, but not to the updater? A piece of code may not run for one user, even though he/she has the same "version of devkitPro" as another.
A slightly less serious issue is that it bugs the hell out of WinterMute. :P
