The gyroscopic system of the wiimote
shouldn't be used bcause of the difficulty to master the movement in this
conditions. we propose to use it as a minimalistic but very ergonomic remote
! . Success guaranteed  with young audiences !
 
  TROUBLESHOOTINGS
Hard disk saturation by temporary
files: 
 When the USB bluetooth dongle isn't
plugged in and it uses the configuration "Automatic" as described. In 1
or 2 boots, it leads to a disk full at 100%!
 In this case, boot in failsafe mode:
 cd / tmp
 rm -rf *
 Then reboot normally (with the key
bluetooth). 
 Morality: You must heve the bluetooth
dongle connected permanently.
