Ok, fine then.

Yep.

Yeah, make a deriv/ subdir or so for them, i can then put that into the
right place. And put the config into svn besides the english and spanish
config. Name it config.ini.deriv and ensure you have the name = field
right, and the link field ends in /deriv/. out_dir is www/deriv. When
you then come back to me i put it in action, and the Planetarium gets
the link automagically, with the name you put into the name field.
