Not really... qmail out of the box doesn't support inetd. There are
configuration changes you have to make *on your own* to get it to work, and
the web site doesn't support or explain these changes. (I'm sure that if
you wanted to support inetd stuff on this list, no-one else here would have
a problem; and would probably even welcome that help, but I speak only for
me.)
Linux out of the box doesn't support the PalmPilot. Plain and simple.
However, with modifications, someone has actually got a minimal (read:
subset thereof) linux kernel and bash to run on an 8Meg PalmPilot!!! You'll
not know that from the www.kernel.org or any other main Linux site, *nor*
will you find that info on www.palm.com. It's not supported, period. Hell,
www.palm.com won't even tell you that an 8Meg Palm III is possible. Why???
they don't support it. Go to www.superpilot.com, however, and you'll find
out that they TRG in fact offers an 8 Meg upgrade for most any PalmPilot.
(BTW, if you're interested in the Palm Linux project, go here:
http://www.uclinux.org/
Just because it can be gotten to work, doesn't mean it's supported. In my
eyes, the statement means exactly what it says.
[[Erm... Oops! I ment to sent this to the list, but Eudora vs. Jove goofed
me up again! Whaddya mean <CTRL-E> sends the message immediately??? ;-)
Sorry for the extra noise, Lyndon!]]
Anyway, as always, this is MHO, YMMV, grains of salt, and all that jazz.
