Can you explains what this does? I did what you said and this is what i get at the DOS prompt in that exact directory: teal os (aaat aadx)
Was I supposed to type exactly "tealos hotsyncid" or replace the "hotsyncid" with my actual device ID?
Yes you have to replace hotsyncid with your actual device ID. aaat aadx is your registration key for your device ID. Once you are running TealOS on your palm you have to press the menu button (right side of the 'Alt' button) and then select 'register' and enter this string.
Use the latest version of Teal OS 1.54 attached a few posts above and register with this serial.
What is the difference between the patched and unpatched versions? Thanks for the links.
