If you like to keep user data on a separate partition (sysadmin 101 stuff), you can still fool the Hotsync Manager as follows:
- Create a folder /Users/Palm that is on the partition holding the Mac OS X System (more specifically, /Users/Palm should be on the partition holding /Library -> Application Support -> Hotsync Manager).
- Copy the contents of ~/Documents/Palm to /Users/Palm. Use the Finder, just to be on the safe side. The tilde (~) represents your home folder.
- Replace the folder ~/Documents/Palm with a link to /Users/Palm. Using a Terminal window, type:
% cd ~/Documents ; rm -r Palm ; ln -s /Users/Palm Palm
