version 0.15 is on the way, at the least try 0.14.  You may not want the
entire list of packages, probably just synce-hal, synce-sync-engine and
synce-gvfs.  gvfs will give you nautilus browsing of your device ;)

There are synce mailinglists, if someone knows how to help you then he 
is there I think.

You know I have that installed.  It looks like I tried it once, but
didn't get far with it and then started exploring other options.  Since
I haven't found other options so I think I need to revisit this.

The CE device has a cradle with a usb connection which appears as
character device in /dev/ttyUSB0 .  The Windows cetools / cecopy does it
if you want to use Windows.  However, I would like to do it from Gentoo
if possible.  Any ideas?

I don't have tried it because I don't own a WinCE device but it sounds 
like the right thing to me.

[gentoo-user] Uploading Files to Windows CE

Does anyone know how to upload files from a Gentoo box to Windows CE?
The CE device has a cradle with a usb connection which appears as
character device in /dev/ttyUSB0 .  The Windows cetools / cecopy does it
if you want to use Windows.  However, I would like to do it from Gentoo
if possible.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
