32If you want to be able to sync your phone via infrared
33(if you have an infrared port on your laptop)
34please make an online update to get infrared working.
35
36If you want to be able to sync KDE-Pim/Pi with the KDE-desktop
37please update SuSE 9.1 to KDE 3.3.0 or higher.
38NOTE:
39Currently only syncing of calendar data is supported by
40the KDE-Pim/Pi <-> KDE-desktop sync feature.
41Possibility of syncing addressbook data will follow before
42release 2.0.0 of KDE-Pim/Pi.
43
44Here is the information,
45provided in the rpm file about the content:
46
47KDE-Pim-Pi
48Version: 1.9.10-SuSE9.1
49This package contains the platform-independent PIM programs from
50www.pi-sync.net, compiled for SuSE 9.1:
51KTimeTacker/Pi
52KPhone/Pi
53KAddressbook/Pi
54KOrganizer/Pi
55PasswordManager/Pi
56These applications do not need anything from the KDE-desktop
57at all to run on Linux. However, there is a dependency from
58two KDE libs, because a small command line program is included
59to make it possible to sync with the KDE-desktop applications.
60These applications are independent from the KDE-desktop
61environment. That means, nothing of your existing
62KDE-desktop setup will be changed, or any data
63(calendar-addressbook) used by the KDE-desktop
64applications will be changed or accessed.
65These applications stores their data and config in
66$HOME/kdepim/
67However, because the same file format is used,
68an easy exchange of data with the KDE-desktop
69is possible.
70A small command line program is included
71to make it possible to sync with the KDE-desktop applications.
72You do not need to call this program from the commandline,
73it is called from the KDE-Pim/Pi apps when you choose there:
74Sync with KDE_Desktop.
75If something is going wrong, please start the
76KDE-Pim/Pi program itself from the console to get detailed output.
77After installation, you should have a
78PIM-pi
79folder in your KDE start menu, where you can
80start the applications from.
81These programs makes it possible to sync your Zaurus easily
82(with the KDE-Pim/Pi programs running on the Zaurus)
83with the KDE-desktop calendar/addressbook data.
84If you want to use that, you have to update your
85KDE-desktop to version 3.3.0 or higher.
86Actually - after the (non difficult) configuration is set up -
87with two mouseklicks on the Zaurus,
88the Zaurus syncs with the corresponding KDE-Pim/Pi
89program on the Linux Desktop which syncs automatically
90with the KDE-desktop data.
91If you want to use the KDE-desktop calendar/addressbook applications,
92just install these apps in this package and use them as a syncing tool for the
93Zaurus <-> KDE-desktop sync.
94The sync requires a network connection from your Zaurus to
95the PC. A detailed Sync HowTo is available in the
96Help menu of the applications.
97These applications makes it also possible, that you can sync
98(or just export the data to) your mobile phone with your
99data of the KDE-desktop calendar/addressbook applications.
100This is tested and working for Nokia mobile phones,
101it may work with others as well.
102(More info about that: -> Sync HowTo)
103NOTE:
104You have to make an online update in SuSE 9.1 to make it
105possible to get the infrared connection working, such that
106you can sync your (Nokia) mobile phone via infrared.
