I recently reinstalled my laptop, had trouble getting my Palm Pilot/Treo syncing to jpilot. Anyway, I sorted that out (notes [1]); on my travels the Ubuntu Starter Guide recommended [2] adding this line to the file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-custom.rules:
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Palm Handheld*", KERNEL="ttyUSB*", NAME{ignore_remove}="pilot", MODE="666" My question is: what is this supposed to be doing, and why would I want to do it? (man udev didn't help...). Thanks, -- Sonia Hamilton. GPG key A8B77238. . One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them. One OS to call them all, And in salvation bind them.
