Go back and read my clie page again, that pilot-link version will not work with a USB handheld. Granted, I didn't specify version numbers, but I did tell you that the version distributed with MDK 8.2 won't work. I've just updated the page to specify that you need version 0.11.x. > > > Do you have Evolution installed - it is pretty good at setting up a Palm > > device if you just follow thru the instructions under tools/pilot-settings? > > (You will also need to have evolution-pilot installed.) > > If that was successful, you would probably just find that JPilot works fine. > > Um, let's see... > # rpm -q evolution > evolution-1.0.2-5mdk > # rpm -q evolution-pilot > package evolution-pilot is not installed > > Well, I'll play with evolution since it's installed, but I'll have to > download an rpm for evolution-pilot, since my CD-ROM is down: (YAFP!) > That happened when I switched to a writable CD-ROM and ignorantly tried > to follow the howtos, which bessed everything up so bad that I can't get > that working now either.

Do yourself a favor and get pilot-link working before messing with Evolution. Do youself another favor and just use J-Pilot; I've given up on Evolution-pilot as it is incapable of synchronizing. All it can reliably do is copy from one location to another, which will produce duplicate records. When it tries to synchronize, it will get confused and delete records that shouldn't be deleted. Haven't tried with 1.2 yet, but my read of their development list archives doesn't inspire confidence that PDA work is very high on their list of priorities. <snip> -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...
