Synchronizing Your Handheld
Devices with GNOME Pilot
GNOME Pilot lets you integrate your GNOME desktop with handheld computers. You
can use it to set up and perform synchronization between PDAs and your GNOME
desktop.
The gnome-pilot package, along with the optional conduits in evolution-pilot,
allows you to move information between your handheld device and your GNOME
desktop. You must run the setup tool before synchronizing. The setup tool starts the
GNOME Pilot daemon, gpilotd. If it is not running, you can start the daemon with
the /usr/lib/gnome-pilot/gpilotd command. You can also use the GNOME
Pilot applet to start the daemon.
To start the GNOME Pilot applet, click Computer > More Applications > System >
GNOME Pilot or start /usr/bin/gpilotd-control-applet.

9.1 GNOME Pilot Configuration Tool

There are three tabs in the Pilot Settings tool: PDAs, Devices, and Conduits. The first

an assistant.
