Re: Sounds, Gallery, and Contacts

That worked great for Image Gallery! Thanks a lot!

As for the Contacts, is there any easier way to enter a lot of them -
i.e. from a front end of some sort via a desktop PC? I am just trying to
avoid having to enter over 100 of them manually on the iPAQ - that could
take quite a long time and I have a lot of notes associated with them
and would like to be able to copy / paste.

I am really enjoying Linux on my iPAQ - its giving the thing a whole
new life!

The gallery problem is caused by a packaging bug with GTK. To work
around it, do:

# ipkg install gdk-pixbuf2-loader-jpeg
# gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders

The NMF problem is a bit more of a mystery. Others have reported it
also, but I don't yet know the cause.

Not right now, but within the next week or so we will probably have a
mechanism for importing from vCard format. So, if you can persuade
your
Outlook to export in that form, you should be all set.
