Ok. So I have the /dev/pilot set up pointing to the correct usb
port /dev/ttyUSB1. GNOME Pilot though doesn't recognize my PDA. When I
check the FAQ's and How-to's re: pilot link, etc... it rapidly exceeds
my ability. But, I am working through it.

This question: I used synaptic package manager to install the necessary
packages. When I do this, this makes it unnecessary to do the unpacking
and compiling... correct? I guess I am unsure where in the How To's re
setting up my pilot I should jump in.
