Now that the SDK is out, it's absurdly easy to
access linux.
1. Instal the SDK according to the directions from Palm.
2. Put your phone into developer mode (from the home screen, type 'upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart', open the Developer Mode app and put the phone into developer mode. It will prompt you to restart).
3. Connect your phone to the computer using your USB cable. Select "Charge Only" on the Pre
4. Go to (I'm assuming you're on Windows here) Start -> Run and type 'cmd' (without the quotes) and hit enter.
5. Once you're in the command prompt, type 'novacom -t open tty://' (again, without the quotes).
6. You'll see a prompt root@castle:/# ←[J which means you're in! Type whatever commands you want (but be careful! very easy to hose your Pre when you're logged in as root!)
That is how you access linux (formerly called rooting the pre) on your Pre. Yes, it really is that easy.
