Jupp, didn't notice that before. I placed some new trees to stopp that.

That wasn't intentional when I created it, but its makes fun and gives
the level a lot more speed, I think we leave it that way.

Ok, I fix that.

Yep, correct. I only used that to have the levels in my home dir
(symlink to /usr/...), I didn't noticed the ~/.tuxracer file, where I
can configure that.

Sure.

I'll try to have a look at that tomorrow, I need some sleep now. %-)
