Thanks so much, this is exactly the info I needed. I'll give it a go.

Just one question. Is this a common occurance in Ubuntu? The reason I ask is I
am constantly advocating the adoption of FLOSS to those around me (I am a PhD
candidate at an art school), and something like this is going to be a deal
breaker for a lot of folks around here. When I ran the Debian Sarge installer,
it asked me what port I would connect my palm to. Is there a reason that this
feature is not included in the Ubuntu installer? It's not a complaint, just
curious, that's all.

Anyway, thanks for the help. If I get this working, I will post a newbie
friendly HOW-TO on the site....

Cheers,

Ben
