Re: [newbie] Palm M505 Connectivity with Mandrake
Well, Greg, in fact they are no the way, but pilot-link has a beta release that I haven been able to compile, they say that the problem is solved but arte testing it. And in the case of coldsync is there a mandrake rpm, but I haven't been able to reach the conection to my m505 palm. So we can wait, perhaps in a week or two the final release of pilot-link will be in a rpm package or perhaps Dan could compile the beta.

Fw: [newbie] Palm M505 Connectivity with Mandrake
I must admit that I have not tried the new kernel. So, I will get the latest (again) and hopefully everything will work this time. The last time I tried my boot block got messed up somehow. Now, after I get the newest kernel, what else do I need. Do I need the latest pilot-link and jpilot? Because I had trouble with the CVS too. Not just a little trouble either. I had so many errors! But I have had no trouble with anything else...

The m50x USB works perfectly with the latest kernels. I have 2.4.18, and m500/m505 support works. As of 2.4.19-presomething (I think pre5), m515 support is included as well (I just hacked the m505 support in mine to get my m515 to work). I'm using Slackware, but the distribution doesn't matter as long as you're using the same kernel. Check out the latest from www.kernel.org and see if it your m505 works with that.

[newbie] Palm M505 Connectivity with Mandrake
I bought a Palm M505 and I really enjoy it. The problem is that it only works for me with Windows. I have tried using the Pilot-Link mail list and a couple other Palm list looking for help and have yet to have one question answered: Does anyone have a Palm M505 that they are hot syncing with Mandrake Linux? I have had to reinstall Linux twice now as I have messed it up so bad with Package upgrades, swaps, etc... I will not try again until I find someone else that got it to work. And because of that, I am using Windows most of the time now... Help! Dan B Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

What is coldsync? What do you mean by upgrade? I am watching everyone have problems with 8.2 and I am afraid to upgrade. So you think that would settle my problem? I just will not be able to burn CD's anymore. What a win-win situation.
