(I've just checked kdeedu, no kstars alone available), Install freezed before the end (I don't know why).

as a user) that KDE is fine for Linux but it is not simple to make it works under XP. I find easier to run kstars on an XP computer using VirtualBox and Ubuntu than using kde-win-installer.<br><br>But apart from that, I am using KStars because it is fast, small, versatile and easy to use.<br></div><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br>Regards<br>Fabien<br><div style="font-family: verdana,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;"><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">De :</span></b> Médéric Boquien <mboquien@free.fr><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">À :</span></b> Fabien <pogzy@yahoo.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cc :</span></b> kstars-devel@kde.org; Akarsh Simha <akarshsimha@gmail.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Envoyé le :</span></b> Vendredi, 18 Septembre 2009, 17h46mn 31s<br><b><span style="font-weight:
