Accessing Linux archlinux

Novacomd
Novacomd doesn't work under archlinux, so we have to use ubuntu's libusb. You can either use palm-novacom-lite AUR package or download package from here : http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libs/libusb-0.1-4 Unpack deb and copy somewhere the libusb-1.0.so.4.4.4. Create the script to launch novacomd

LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libusb-1.0.so.4.4.4 /opt/Palm/novacom/novacomd
 * 1) !/bin/sh

The rest is just unpacking debs in the right place.
