Hi Lex,

Thanks, I didn't know this start-up script ! In fact, I have sometimes
used the Debian package, but it was often an old-version not
synchronize with the current release version and only available for
sid, so I gave up to use Debian packages. But maybe I should
reconsider this question since I'm using now the sid distrib and the
repository seems to be up-to-date, thanks to you ! :-)

Yes, it would be convenient for me, because I rarely used a fresh
image, and I have a bunch of different images with different versions
for different project with different directories, so I have sometimes
to move or copy !
