Hi Adrian and all.

No problem at all. Getting an answer is what matters! That's what I
love about KDE and OSS in general! :)

Yes, in fact works way better than the craddle with the kernel
assigning different devices each time :(, but more slowly.

I followed the tutorial at: http://howto.pilot-link.org/bluesync/

If I can steal some minutes from my agenda I try to gather a small
howto. But no promises just now my work is... well... overwhelming!

Just for being coherent, which format do you use for the
documentation, docbook?. Any tool helping there? I've never used it.
Shouldn't be difficult I presume.

Oh!, I tend to forget to explain things properly, sorry. As it happens
since forever kpilot keeps duplicating some of my calendar and todo
entries, I presume this happens because I'm synchronising with three
different computers (always using the pilot as the hub). I've never
booked any bug report as I hadn't the time to debug it properly.

It checks the database for incorrect entries on the pilot. I took it
from this very list. I think it was Jason who pointed the link but I
could be wrong. I got the name wrong though is dbScan :) you can find
it @ http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/utilities.htm

Ufff, didn't know that one. That could explain some problems!.

OK thanks a lot for your help!

Keep the good work.
