5.0 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/libexec/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.
