New Zire Handheld 2 MB Version and Syncing/Backup

[Mel Seder]

Thanks David,
I'm not to knowledgeable about symlinks and what kind of perrisions sI should give.  I'll probably be the only user of the Zire on my PC.  I think I'll be able to figure it out.  I have several Linux books.

look in "prefs/ settings" and confirm that the port information is correct.
jpilot defaults to /dev/pilot, so it's a good idea to create a symlink 
/dev/pilot that points to your actual port.
You may have to change the permission settings of the 
/dev/whatever-your-port-is.

and sync !

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him 
absolutely no good. -Samuel Johnson, lexicographer (1709-1784)
