Both the files 60-libpisock.rules and 60-pilot.rules. Useless.
Also, the file 60-libpisock.rules references the group "dialout" which
doesn't exist. This suggests some install process which didn't run (and
didn't copy files and create the group). I have the following packages
installed:
gnome-pilot-2.0.15-10.fc8
gnome-pilot-devel-2.0.15-10.fc8
pilot-link-0.12.2-17.fc8
pilot-link-devel-0.12.2-17.fc8
Maybe I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling these. I don't have days
and days and days to waste tracking down all these F8 problems, though.
Looks like a move back to F7 is in order. The kernel I'm running is
2.6.23.15-137.fc8.
