I had to do the install-user when I set up my Treo 90 to sync. It had
also been reset after the battery completely drained. I picked the name
I wanted and also the user ID #. I think I just used 99999 to make sure
it was a high enough number that wasn't in use. It doesn't seem to
matter what number you do use, there isn't one already set for it if it
hasn't ever been sync'd before (at least as far as I know anyway).
The Ubuntu wiki instructions for sync'ing the Treo 90 at
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/PalmtopHowto came from my experiences
trying to get my Handspring Treo 90 to sync and there may very well be
a better way, but I don't know it. The most important thing to remember
is that you have to hit the sync button on the device itself before you
open the jpilot software, then hit the sync (software) button inside
jpilot.
Hope this helps!
