Hmmm, since I’ve been working my ass off, I have to play around a little. The other day I put ipodLinux on my 60GB Video iPod.

   Nice video there mate. I had Linux on my 4G 40gig but I didn’t like it too much - kept locking up on me.

   Oh, what’s that song in the background?

   Hey man, same model ipod here…download and run the installer and it says it needs to update installer to 1.3, yet it never seems to download the update. still goes along with the install and then gives me the folder with an exclamation point upon reboot. restoring apple firmware fixes the problem but still, i wanna run linux any help/input very very very much appreciated.

   First off, we did it on my friend’s mac because he was doing his and I saw it worked. We followed the instructions from http://ipodlinux.org/5g#Mac_Instructions

   First we formatted the filesystem to HFS (mac filesystem), then we installed via the instructions on the ipodlinux tutorial. Straght forward, worked with no problems.
   Before formatting it HFS, we tried and got the apple.com/support/ipod error. But we were trying with a mac. I didn’t bother trying one of the windows methods cause it worked so well on the mac.

   Since I use my iTunes on a windows box, I had to get xPlay (used to be xPod) to read the HFS system and continue using the apple interface with my PC (since it now is a mac iPod. xPlay works great, by the way. It configured my iTunes to handle Mac and Windows formatted iPods so it can still update my nano. Also, I can view HFS filesystems with it, which is letting me install the nintendo emulator (http://ipodlinux.org/INES) easily. I’ll let you know how that turns out. I’ve got 800 roms so I’ll be able to test a few.

   The song in the background is Ladytron, “destroy everything you touch”.
