By-the-way, this was on Mandrake 8.2 and 9.0 DBW KPilot looks prettier, but I didn't like the way it spread info between different KDE applications. It means a more integrated and convenient desktop, but JPilot keeps the data in one place, so I can back it up, restore versions and so on more easily.

Re: RE: [newbie] palm pilot
J-pilot was pretty easy to set up, I gave it the path to my serial port and I was able to sync. Evolution on the other hand was a b*tch to set up, in fact I still don't know what I did that made it work. In either case you may need to add yourself to the appropriate group for access to the serial port. -Original Message- From: Dan Butler [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 8 Dec 2002 19:43:45 -0500 Subject: RE: [newbie] palm pilot Did you have to do much additional configuring?

Re: [newbie] palm pilot
Yes, but it was a bit idiosyncratic to start. Let's see, from memory... I'm using serial so made a soft link from /dev/pilot to /dev/ttyS1. Configured the conduits for diary files and to-dos etc... there is a good bit in the manual about this. Remember to identify the user. Once everything you can think of is configured, close the application and kill the daemon. (Trial and error m'boy, trial and error!) Start the daemon, start the application click on the hotsync button on the app then do the same on your palm and it should work. I'm using a Palm IIIc on serial port 2. regards Daryl On Sunday 08 Dec 2002 2:46 pm, walt wrote: Anyone manage to get a palm pilot to sync in mandrake 9.0?

Re: [newbie] palm pilot
David, Are you using a USB cradle? I have a Handspring that I haven't quite got going but I haven't fooled with it for several months.

[newbie] Palm Pilot can't sync with pilot-xfer
Please send help. the command: "palm-xfer /dev/pilot -b /home/palm-backup" gives the error: "unable to bind to port /dev/pilot" I have already linked /dev/ttys0 with /dev/pilot. I tried substituting some other serial port device names for /dev/pilot. same error. I know the port is OK, because I dual boot and it syncs OK under win98. Suggestions? Brett
