However, there is a dependency from two KDE libs, because a small command line program is included to make it possible to sync with the KDE-desktop applications. These applications are independent from the KDE-desktop environment. That means, nothing of your existing KDE-desktop setup will be changed, or any data (calendar-addressbook) used by the KDE-desktop applications will be changed or accessed. These applications stores their data and config in $HOME/kdepim/ However, because the same file format is used, an easy exchange of data with the KDE-desktop is possible. A small command line program is included to make it possible to sync with the KDE-desktop applications. You do not need to call this program from the commandline, it is called from the KDE-Pim/Pi apps when you choose there: Sync with KDE_Desktop. If something is going wrong, please start the KDE-Pim/Pi program itself from the console to get detailed output. After installation, you should have a PIM-pi folder in your KDE start menu, where you can start the applications from. These programs makes it possible to sync your Zaurus easily (with the KDE-Pim/Pi programs running on the Zaurus) with the KDE-desktop calendar/addressbook data. If you want to use that, you have to update your KDE-desktop to version 3.3.0 or higher. SuSE 9.2 contains KDE 3.3.0 such that no update is needed. Actually - after the (non difficult) configuration is set up - with two mouseklicks on the Zaurus, the Zaurus syncs with the corresponding KDE-Pim/Pi program on the Linux Desktop which syncs automatically with the KDE-desktop data. If you want to use the KDE-desktop calendar/addressbook applications, just install these apps in this package and use them as a syncing tool for the Zaurus <-> KDE-desktop sync. The sync requires a network connection from your Zaurus to the PC. A detailed Sync HowTo is available in the Help menu of the applications. These applications makes it also possible, that you can sync (or just export the data to) your mobile phone with your data of the KDE-desktop calendar/addressbook applications. This is tested and working for Nokia mobile phones, it may work with others as well. (More info about that: -> Sync HowTo) NOTE: When using SuSE 9.1 you have to update your KDE to 3.3.x and you have to make an online update in SuSE 9.1 to make it possible to get the infrared connection working, such that -you can sync your (Nokia) mobile phone via infrared.

The memory stick edition contains all needed files! It contains binary files of KO/Pi and KA/Pi for WindowsXP, WindowsME and Linux and the needed libs. In the memory stick edition KO/Pi and KA/Pi are already configured to run from a memory stick and to save the data to the memory stick. You may have problems to run the Linux versions of KO/Pi or KA/Pi on Linux from a MS-Dos formatted memory stick. That depends on your Linux distribution. + |
