Has anybody tried downloading all nine stars-catalogues within Stellarium? They are going to be stored within /home/user/.stellarium/. And a stars-catalogue can be as large as 333 MB in size.
I am frankly confused by this issue. I don't know why, but attempting to put the catalogue 8-out-of-9 into the a directory within /opt/... eats at the memory for installable applications. Is Stellarium un-optified, or have I eaten almost all opt-partition? Most likely, the latter. I will have to research further...
Best wishes.
