10.3: Make Palm HotSync work in Panther
Hints involving logging in as the root user should, in my unsolicited opinion, only be published when there is no other option. And I, personally, have never encountered a situation where there was no other option but to log in as root. Especially in this case; I installed Panther, then Palm Desktop (from the Palm website; whichever version is currently available), then the Palm iSync conduit, and had absolutely no problems. It works perfectly. So it's obvious that root access is not required. For you. I installed Panther (clean install), downloaded the Palm installer, and it won't install, complaining that "access was denied" (how War Games!). Sounds a lot like a permissions problem to me. Just because you didn't have a problem doesn't mean that no one is having it. And probably until Palm fixes their installer, the only way I'll be able to install is by installing as root. Besides, there's no security difference between logging in as root to install something, and typing in your administrator password when an installer asks for it. Both mechanisms grant the installer root-level access. Do you never type your administrator password? |
