Anybody have any suggestions on getting K-Pilot to work with a Palm Centro?
It has worked great for several years with my Tungsten e, but crashed hard when I try to sync with the new Centro.
I thought since they were both Palm that would be the safest and easiest thing to do when replacing my PDA, man was I wrong.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks OhReally, I have seen a ton of stuff like this but that's not the problem. I have CardExport which makes your SD card appear as a usb device and is much easier than the recommendation on the link.

The problem is syncing Kontact with my Centro. If I had the time and knowledge I could probably use all the capabilities of pilot-link and I wouldn't have a problem, however I don't have the knowledge base or the time to acquire it.

One option I found regularly suggested was JPilot. So I finally gave in and tried JPilot. JPilot works flawlessly out of the box and I can even HotSync with Bluetooth (bonus).

However all my information is in Kontact, all seven years worth. JPilot is not as feature rich as Kontact and it does not integrate email like Kontact.

One final option that is popular on the web while ressearching this for the last two or three weeks is to use Gnome, gpilot and evolution.
Which I will be trying this weekend. Was never an option before, never have like Gnome or Evolution.That's one of the reasons I originally stated using KDE over seven years ago was Kontact and it's great component integration and the fact it synced my Visor easily.
Might be that I will be a Gnome user soon.

Thanks you very much the suggestion, however.

Problem solved by moving to Gnome, gpliot and evolution, works perfectly out of the box even with Blustooth, bonus.
Well that doesn't solve the problem of Kpilot always crashing but it solves the problem of getting my PIM to sync with my Centro PDA.
And after a few days with Evolution it's not so bad they have really improved it since I first tried it over six years ago.
It's very similar to JPilot but with many more features. I guess I'll get used to it and the whole Gnome environment quickly.

As a follow up everything is working great.
After using KDE for over 6 years I am very impressed with Gnome and it has certainly won a convert.
Tried KDE4 but still had same problems with it as I did with KDE3 and my PDA and PIM.
With Gnome I can even do file transfer from my PDA to desktop and visa versa. Something I never got working with KDE.
That last point could be lack of knowledge on my part.
Well excuse me I have to go and set up a gnome forum account so I can assist others with my newly gained, minute as it may be, experience.
See you on the back side of KDE4 possibly.
