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. +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: +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. |
