For awhile I have been trying to get J-Pilot working on this dinosaur
using #!-lite (crunchbang) 9.04 (can't use KDE or GNOME on this dinosaur).
The J-Pilot folks couldn't help. I also tried coldsync and PilotManager
(other Palm sync programs) with compilation error. So I decided not
to fuss, but just use a liveCD to add a few applications into my Palm Treo
700p (already have cable). I don't want to sync my calendar or addresses,
just add some applications, so this approach makes sense.
I want to boot a liveCD, access my palm files, sync, and logoff. I do
NOT want to configure any program and worry about any other hassle.
I.e., the distro should have whatever it needs to sync.
Does Mandriva 2010 has J-Pilot, kpilot, or any other Palm sync
program by DEFAULT? If so, which window environment (KDE, GNOME, or XFCE)?
Please take a look at your Mandriva, if you have the latest version,
and see if you have a Palm sync program built-in.
If not, which linux-based distro(s) has (have) a Palm sync program?
Thank for your help.
