Re: Conduit enlightenment

[Evan <eapache gmail com>]

Evolution is not needed to simply backup/restore your palm. All you need for that is the Backup Conduit. Evolution is needed if you want to access your address book, memos, etc. on the computer. The Backup conduit will back up the raw address, memo, etc. files, but the evolution conduits for those are what converts those files into files Evolution can read.

I too am curious to find out what the MAL conduit is.

I have just switched to Ubuntu 7.10 from Windows and need to be able to
backup and restore my many Palm applications.  I have run gnome-pilot via
USB connection apparently successfully except all conduits were disabled so
nothing happened except that ~/PalmTX folder and an empty ~/PalmTX/del
folder was created.  Looking over the conduits available I get the
impression that Evolution is required and I am running Mozilla-Thunderbird
instead.  Even were I running Evolution I do not see conduits for general
applications other than Address, Calendar, Memo and Todo although I don't
know what MAL or file is for.

Must I switch to Evolution to protect my TX?  I simply want to backup the
machine and be able to restore it in case of corruption.   Thanx for any
suggestions.
