Installing custom packages?

I would really like to get a P2K phone file manager going under linux, so I came across this very attractive app ...

http://sourceforge.net/projects/moto4lin/

... but it's not in the pacman repository.  So I would like to install it via pacman -A, but I'm not really sure how ... what should I do?

moto4lin is in the [community] repo, so all you need to do is edit /etc/pacman.conf to activate it, and then do

pacman -Sy moto4lin

Nice!  Worked great!

One more thing though ... this is a little program-specific.  I'm having trouble finding an ACM device that the program can use to communicate with the phone.  Any ideas?

Re: Installing custom packages?

haha ... I am so lame ... a quick google search pointed me to /dev/ttyACM0 and it worked great.  To anyone else reading this guide, make sure you use this path in your ACM Device.  Also, remember that your phone is recognized as a different USB device when you are in AT mode vs P2K mode, so remember to refresh your USB list in the settings after you switch modes to assign the "new" device for use
