[NTLUG:Discuss] Palm, USB, J-Pilot, Mandrake 9 ?

[nf0]

Hi Mike,
I've got a fairly fresh install of Mandrake 9 running. I haven't done
anything special with it. I choose the pilot software when i did the
install. As soon as i hooked up my m505 via USB everything just worked.
I sync it with Evolution, but i just fired up jpilot also and it worked
like a charm. Could this be a handspring particular issue? I seem to
recall reading a problem with just handsprings on Mac OS X.
