Does Mandriva have palm sync by default?

[shengchieh]

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.

Moderator. This is definitely the wrong forum. The "dinosaur" (I mentioned above) is this old desktop.

I had trouble deciding which group to choose. This is a liveCD issue or Mandriva software issue.

It's in this forum because you want software to access a portable device. The software forum is for general applications that don't belong anywhere else. :)

The module for KDE4 palm sync is kpilot, which is not maintained anymore. Factly, it had no updates since ages, and it will not be present in KDE 4.4.

If you want something light, just to copy files or applications across to your Palm, take a look at pilot link, http://www.pilot-link.org/
