a. This is trickier for a beginner. If you can get it to work, it will
result in many fewer headaches.
b. First see if it is already working.
c. in the terminal follow the last command with 'ls /dev/pilot'. If you
get '/dev/pilot', this is already working.
d. If not, google "udev pilot" and you will get some how-tos that show
you how to configure udev to create the pilot symlink.
e. What is supposed to happen here is that the palm device will
identify itself as such to udev/kernel, and whatever ttyUSB device the
kernel attaches it to will have a symlink created for it called pilot. That
way you can configure kpilot to watch /dev/pilot instead of hoping that it
always attaches to, say, /dev/ttyUSB01
I am still no idea for this matter. I tried but it does not work. Would you
please elaborate for me.
> 3) make sure pilot-link can talk to the device
a. if the foregoing is working, run pilot-xfer from the command line to
test this
b. the syntax can be found by running "pilot-xfer --help" or "man
pilot-xfer"
