Hm. Does anyone know if there are any differences between the KPilot 
install on SuSE and the one that comes with Knoppix 2.6? I ask, because 
I've had a similar problem. Running Knoppix on the same hardware, I 
could get KPilot to connect to my Sony Clie with no trouble (I didn't 
use /dev/pilot, I just adjusted KP to use /dev/ttyUSBx), but doing the 
exact same thing under SuSE 9.1Pro KP kept giving dieing on "could no 
open device" errors. This is one of those problems I haven't really done 
any serious work on yet, because I've got so many others with higher 
priority....
