[TLUG]: FC4: Ways to use PalmPilot

[pking123 at sympatico.ca]

I wonder what would happen if I created a directory for the device, 
and in that directory, I created the device statically with the 
permissions and ownerships I want and then udev can go do whatever it 
likes.

It seems to be a better than delving into /etc/udev, and dealing with 
a whole other set of intricacies. It's an idea I have, and I am just 
going to try it.

Thanks for everyone's help so far!
