 - USB is working (I have an iPod that I use as [basically] a huge 
thumbdrive, and can mount / umount it).  I also have a 250GB external 
USB harddrive for when the iPod isn't big enough.
 - I can tail /var/log/messages, and see the following when I connect 
the device and press the 'sync' button: (see log snippet below)
 - Both USB devices seem to be owned by root
 - Both USB devices are only present when the Palm is connected (so, if 
I change the permissions, disconnect, and reconnect, perms are back to 
root only)


Has anyone had any luck with one of these neat but expensive (and 
seemingly useless, if you use Linux) PDA's?
