+If you want to be able to sync your phone via infrared
+(if you have an infrared port on your laptop)
+please make an online update to get infrared working.
+
+If you want to be able to sync KDE-Pim/Pi with the KDE-desktop
+please update SuSE 9.1 to KDE 3.3.0 or higher.
+NOTE:
+Currently only syncing of calendar data is supported by
+the KDE-Pim/Pi <-> KDE-desktop sync feature.
+Possibility of syncing addressbook data will follow before
+release 2.0.0 of KDE-Pim/Pi.
+
+Here is the information,
+provided in the rpm file about the content:
+
+KDE-Pim-Pi
+Version: 1.9.10-SuSE9.1
+This package contains the platform-independent PIM programs from
+www.pi-sync.net, compiled for SuSE 9.1:
+KTimeTacker/Pi
+KPhone/Pi
+KAddressbook/Pi
+KOrganizer/Pi
+PasswordManager/Pi
+These applications do not need anything from the KDE-desktop
+at all to run on Linux. 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.
