[newbie] Palm m500 and JPilot

2002-07-27 Thread Jonathan Dlouhy 

Hello, I've got a Palm m500 and am making no headway with pilot-link or 
JPilot. This is Mandrake 8.1, btw. What device should my Palm be? It sits 
in a USB cradle. Anything at all would help. Please help get me started or 
tell me where to RTFM.
I'm using JPilot version 99.1 and pilot-link version 9.5. I can't get any 
newer versions of these installed without running into lots of dependancy 
problems. These versions are from the Mandrake 8.2 CDs, and they installed 
fine.

Thanks!

Jonathan, Dan,

I haven't mucked with this much in a couple of months but I got my USB
Handspring Visor working 'sort of' under Linux (RH 7.2 I believe). I had
to recompile the kernel to get USB-Serial support. It was not easy and
it didn't work very well. Maybe the newer distros have better USB
support.

A much easier option is to get a serial cradle!

Anyhow check out

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/PalmOS-HOWTO/

or a goodly number of Palm-Linux sites (do a google search).

 First off, the newer the kernel the better, so I would upgrade to Mandrake
 8.2.  JPilot user Pilot-Link to Sync so you want to have the newest version
 of pilot-link.  9.5 wasn't known for a reliable USB connection with the
 Palm.  But the newer version is.  That brings you up to about as much as I
 know as I'm still trying to get my Palm 505 to sync...

Jonathonaccording to the jpilot and pilot-link websites 
you'll need pilot-link 0.10.1 or later.
