Setting up AvantGo to download FARK to your Palm or PocketPC in 3 steps
Step 1) Install AvantGo on your Palm. If you already have AvantGo installed, go to step 2.
Avantgo is a service that downloads web content to you Palm during a Hotsync operation to your PC or Mac. The service is free. Software is installed that works in conjuction with your Palm Desktop software. Go to AvantGo to sign up.
Select "Sign Up" for individuals and follow the installation instructions. One you have signed up, gotten your username and password and installed the software, go to step 2.
Step 2) Click here to import the FARK.com info that AvantGo needs for your account.
Avantgo may ask for your username and password. Once supplied, AvantGo will show you a "Channel Properties Review"(see image below) of Fark.com.
If memory on your Palm is at a premium, there are two settings you can change to help reduce memory usage. First is the "Maximum Channel Size" setting. It is currently set to 1000K. That number represents the maximum amount of data AvantGo will download into your palm from FARK.com. The second thing you can do to save memory is to turn off the "include images" setting.
"Link Depth" must be set to at least 1 and "Follow Off-site Links" must be turned on.
Once you have the settings to your liking, click on the "Save Channel" button at the bottom of the "Channel Properties Review" form. Go to Step 3.
Step 3) Hotsync your palm to your PC!
During the Hotsync Process, AvantGo will go to FARK.com and download the latest news.
