If you have any of these applications already installed
(especially as an RPM), see notes at bottom.

   (If you already have pilot-link, skip this step)
1) *Install pilot-link 0.9.3 (ftp://ryeham.ee.ryerson.ca/pub/PalmOS)
    (see it's README for more details)
  a) zcat pilot-link.0.9.3.tar.gz | tar xvf -
  b) cd pilot-link.0.9.3
  c) ./configure
  d) make
  e) make install  (as root)

  (Most don't have this, but if you do, you may skip this step)
2) *Install PDA::Pilot
    (see it's README for more details)
  a) cd Perl5  (assumes stil in pilot-link.0.9.3 directory above)
  b) perl Makefile.PL
  c) make
  d) make install (as root)

  (Most don't have this, but if you do, you may skip this step)
3) **Install Perl/TK module.
    (http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Tk/Tk800.015.tar.gz)
    (See the INSTALL for more details)
  a) zcat Tk800.015.tar.gz | tar xvf -
  b) cd Tk800.015
  c) perl Makefile.PL
  d) make
  e) make install (as root)

4) Install pi-todo:
    (http://www.slothmud.org/~hayward/pi-todo/pi-todo-0.6.tar.gz)
  a) zcat pi-todo-0.6.tar.gz | tar xvf -
  b) cd pi-todo-0.6
  c) If perl is not in /usr/bin, change first line in pi-todo
  d) cp pi-todo to wherever you want to execute it from (e.g. /usr/local/bin)

5) Link your serial port for the cradle to /dev/pilot
    (If the cradle is on com1, your serial port is /dev/ttyS0)
    The following steps must be done as root:
  a) ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/pilot
  b) chown USER /dev/ttyS0 (allow USER to read/write the port for syncing)

6) Run pi-todo  (assuming it's in your path)

7) Click Pilot-R to download data from the pilot

8) Save it.

9) echo "Thanks for pi-todo." | mail -s "PitodoUser" twivel@slothmud.org

Thats All Folks.

*pilot-link RPM
Many Linux distributions come with pilot-link as an RPM choice.
You may use that package if you like, but you will still need to download
a source version of pilot-link.  The RPM of pilot-link usually does not
install the perl PDA::Pilot module. You will have to download pilot-link,
then do ./configure in base directory. You can skip to step 2.

**perl-tk RPM
If you have a perl-tk module installed as an RPM, you can skip step 3.
