Relic2K Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 Anyone know why this is missing ? How do I go about creating it, and is it suppose to be symlinked to any other device files ? I have a Palm Vx (Serial) and all the programs are trying to find /dev/pilot, which doesn't exist for some reason. Cheers :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 Did you install pilot-link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relic2K Posted April 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 Did you install pilot-link? Yes just did it this morning, as such; #urpmi pilot-link And it prompted me to install all the other required packages along with pilot-link. How come I have not seen any reference to pilot-link in any of the other posts ? I actually came across a reference about it, on another forum (Non-MUB) ?

Cannonfodder Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 I know about it as of today because I was trying to get j-pilot going so I can access my palm desktop database on my windows partition. So far, no luck :roll: Try doing a google search on /dev/pilot ln I see a bunch of stuff. I don't have a palm pilot device to work with myself.

Guest JaseP Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 With kpilot or jpilot, you can point the application to the serial port or usb port where the hot-link cradle is installed. That's much more easy than creating a symbolic link to it in /dev (which you can do as well). I have a Palm m105, and it runs just fine.

I managed to create a symlink, ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/pilot But Mandrake continues to lock up on me. I have changed BIOS Settings for ttyS0, but still locks up. This is an older serial model of Palm Vx using Palm OS 3.5.3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
