How I Setup My Sony Clie under SuSE 8.1 w/JPilot

[kbb0927@cs.com]

I know it is bad etiquette to answer your own post, but I forgot
some things:

I did not install pilot-link from the SuSE 8.1 CD's, so I did not have
the pilot-link-0.9.5 nor pilot-link-devel-0.9.5 running. You might want
to remove these if they are installed.  Once I installed and configured
pilot-link-0.11.5, I ran ldconfig and SuSEconfig. I dunno if this was
necessary or not.

Best Regards,
