Uhm, my bad. I overlooked the "Now go to the post-installation setup" part -_-;;

Thanks for the instructions though, they worked out fine. In case somebody else tries to follow your preceding instructions, please note that the code for the (z)90-prs500.rules got mangled, here's the full line:
Code:
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idProduct}=="029b", SYSFS{idVendor}=="054c", MODE="660", GROUP="plugdev"
(Out of curiosity: is there a particular reason for adding the "z" in front of 90-prs500.rules? It worked out OK anyway...)

As far as the usage of prs500-gui goes, probably a misunderstanding on my part as well. It's at least for now a one-way street: you add the docs (rtf, lrf) you created or downloaded to the library (from your computer), then you can copy them TO the device, but NOT FROM the device. The option is greyed out, and drag-n-drop results in a "NotImplementedError" in the shell. Too bad, maybe later. As for the library being a database file, it has its pros and cons...
