create a symbolic link to the device that your handspring is using.  To find
this device, hit the hotsync button on your cradle, the run 'dmesg' as root.
this will tell you where it is appearing (most likely /dev/usb/ttyUSB1).  

ln -s /dev/usb/ttyUSB1 /dev/pilot.  

As root, change the permissions on whaterver the /dev/pilot device was
linked to:

chown 'user' /dev/usb/ttyUSB1
chgrp 'group' /dev/usb/ttyUSB1
chmod ug+rw /dev/usb/ttyUSB1

With 'pilot-xfer' and 'J-Pilot' start the HotSync from your PDA before
engaging the application's sync features. (/dev/pilot needs to be active).
With evolution/gpilotd, this is not necessary.  

To set up your conduits (addressbook, notes, blah, blah) run:

gpilotd-control-applet --cap-id=1

Head over to www.nvidia.com and download the RH8.0 rpm.  This will give you
the module needed for your card with acceleration.  The module is not
included in RH8 since it is closed source/proprietary code.
