How I'm doing this is by crashing Garnet on purpose instead of hoping it doesn't crash on me first.

I haven't tried this myself (I want mine to update), but couldn't you just remove write permissions to the gvm.store (chmod a-w gvm.store)?

I use the backup option in Resco Explorer. If gvm.store ever wiipes itself out, I just launch into GVM and run Resco Explorer and restore everything. It's fast and easy.

There's a free backup system that's even more effective called Red Feline Backup:

I used it all the time with my old Palm TX, and it works just fine here too.

I've been working on this challenge for the last two days but I seem to be running into a little trouble on this.

I'm not quite sure where to copy my files.

Here's a screenshot:

I do have
media/mmc2/Palm/Launcher
but that's all.

So two questions. How should I transfer all of the files for PediSuite 7.0 as an example and how can I create more storage cards?

Should it be media/mmc2/Palm/Launcher/PediSuite 7.0/ and in that folder there would be PediSuite 7.0 the appl along with the Databases and Saved Prefs folder?

Thanks a ton!

I am NOT familiar with PediSuite 7.0. However, they should work just like any apps.
Apparantly you already have the whole PediSuite on your mmc, then under file manager or xterm cp, copy the whole PediSuite onto /media/mmc2/Palm/Launcher.
Start Zlauncher, click the program and see whether it launch, if not, you may have to go back to the gvm menu page and use the install option. After this, you should know which data files or skin is needed to run the program, you can then go back to zlauncher, press that particular file (right click?) and a menu shows up, and pick copy to RAM. This should work.

A slot is max at ~580 Mb, if the PediSuite is big, you may want to create a separate slot for it, so free up space from slot0 for other stuffs.

When done, go rescoExplore>Menu>tools>BU_restore and backup your work. Done.

Or as Pushwall suggested, copy the whole PediSuite to Palm/program and see how it goes.

Thanks wklink and bunanson!

I'll definitely work on your suggestions during this week and post back on my success.

I'm finally becoming more comfortable with Garnet as of late. I even got Merck Manual fully installed. Joy!

)

Real quick though, do you have any med apps whatsoever running off of a card slot on your end, Bunanson?

For me, it seems like everyone I have requires some/most/all of the data to be located in RAM, making the card slots unavailable to use for these types of software.

Thanks again for all the help on this.

Well, I thought I would share about 50 medical icons for those who would like to pretty up their tablets a little.

Here's what you can do with them:

Also, in case anyone missed this awhile back, here's a great page on Palmleavr's findings:

Hiya bun!

Actually, I've had PediSuite installed quite some time ago.

Every app I have was initially installed on my PC from an .exe file and then HotSynched over onto the Tablet.

So yeah, everything installed goes directly into a gvm.store and nowhere else.

That's why I was asking earlier what I can pull from a gvm.store and how to arrange the folder structures for them so that these can now run off of a SD card slot instead.

Simple question. Do you have the 5 Miniute Medical Consult working from a SD card?

If so, could you show me a picture of the folder and file layout for it?

Stupid question, but is it possible to HotSynch to a SD card when installing an app?

On my Palm, when installing an app, you can choose between device or storage card. Just wondering if the same can be done with Garnet since it would makes things so much easier this way.

I have Not used 5 MinMC since subs run out in 2004. I just use MerckManual. They are the same info, not much different.

No. I have NOT been able to hotsync/install to SD card. I can manually copy .prc or apps to SD card, but hotsync to SD always fail.

Okay. Thank you for the quick response.

Well, I'm looking at one other possible option right now.

With any luck, I might have some really exciting news within the next few days!
