Hey Alex ;)

Your answers show me how morph-able is Morphix and how I don't use this 
morphability :

I will try

Sure ;)

We could run 40 years with only Jupiter Moons ;)

OK. I will do this. (I'm a little newb... ;)  )

I think I will do a Minimod containing all modules. As is, An upgrade will 
just be a minimod upgrade ... not a mainmod upgrade (and all issues it can 
bring....)

Really, i've tried Captive on a HD install and it's very easy. But I don't 
understand GUI problem : 

You need GUI if you can't copy ntfs.sys ans the other. But These are always at 
the same place... aren't they ?
So just a copy in /var/lib/dontknowwhere and ruleezzz.
(if it was so easy... I think it would already done ... ;)


So your suggestions give me ideas : 
Why not Put all Lin4Astro stuf (Cartes du ciel, Audela, qastrocam, pwcx 
driver... ) in a minimodule instead of a main mod. (a little hard to 
maintain)

What do you think about it ?

If guys want to install it on HD, does it work with minimod ?

Thanks for answers ;)

Clear skies (as Bourg en Bresse sky tonight... I think I will done a "little" 
saturn with webcam :))))  )
