Although this works almost out of the box (a near-miracle - it's taken a
long time for Linux to catch up with USB PalmOS PDAs) there's one
problem.

The 'almost' is tricky as finding the /dev entry to populate the Gnome
Pilot Link configurator is not obvious and, I think, would be way beyond
a new user. In my case it turns out to be /dev/usb/tts/1.

It would be useful (not for this release of Mandrake, I suspect) if
either

a. it could be auto-detected during installation, if the PalmOS machine
is connected;

b. if it is not connected, providing a Control Centre applet to detect
it on demand;

c. no matter which of a. or b. is used, automatically linking whatever
the /dev entry actually is to /dev/pilot.
