I installed jpilot from the cd. It looks like it requires some kind of /dev/... entry in the preferences. So, I went looking for a ttyUSB... kind of entry, but there are NONE in my /dev folder.
I did some research and found that 8.1 defaults to a new devfs system that's is, as I understand it, supposed to be more dynamic in that you don't get a bzillion unused device files in /dev. BUT, my USB Visor doesn't work, and I'm not sure how to get Mandrake 8.1 to recognize it. I tried disabling the devfs system per instructions from the MUO site, but still no good.
