| | Yea thats a great tutorial and all you guys there afraid that linux will ruin your ipod I dont THINK it will. Its such a great program. Also if you dont like it then all you have to do is un-install it because the regular firmware will always be on there. Also I have an Ipod mini and i put linux on it and its great i love it. I can watch videos, play many more games including game boy games. All my friends love it and also want to have it, but I have been charging them 5 dollars and they are doing it. |

QUOTE all you have to do is un-install it because the regular firmware will always be on there. True and false at the same time. Most tutorials have you backup your firmware and it'll be on your computer. You can end up deleteing it by removing the first partition of your ipod harddrive, which is the active one that gets booted when you start your ipod. But there is no way to "brick" your ipod. All you'd have to use is the apple restore utility, or the hp restore utility. The only time people really freak out (there is a bug with installing on some nanos) is when the screen turns completely blank, nothing shows. When you plug it in your computer or to your wall ac adapter, nothing shows. All you have to do is do a 'hard reset' then put it into disk mode. You can do this by holding 'Center and Menu' for a few seconds, then as soon as you see the apple logo hold 'Center and Play' until you see the 'Disk mode' logo. Then just plug it in and restore. Installing linux on your ipod is completely safe. Just make sure all your songs are on your computer (if you use itunes dont worry) before you install, otherwise backup your songs then install.

1. You can not "brick" your iPod in anyway. (You can brick your PSP though.) 2. My method will give you a firmware backup, as well as an easy uninstall. All you have to do it rerun the installer. I'm going to look into the Game Boy Emu later.

Putting linux on nano's are fun because once linux is installed on it, you have the choice of three different GUI's. (Podzilla, Floydzilla, and Podzilla2). Also Floyd2illa came out recently so you could put that on there too. Check into the "bluelauncher" (or something around that name). Its not a bootloader, but a GUI selector. Works great and MPD works on the nano too

I doubt it, I'm sure you can just go back and restore and they'd have no idea it was ever on there.

Yup if you go to the iPodLinux forums, you'll find threads that say the same thing. Just reformat it using the tool that apple made and they'll never know. It's like their telling you to put linux on there

Lol that's really nice, using an ipod as a Personal Digital Assistant... However, I don't think this is 100 percent legal, I mean, those machines aren't made to run another Operating System than the manufacterer installed on it..

Installing Software Using Adept
(0) I'm hoping this will be the first of a few Linux tutorials I write. I have been asked by a few
people recently about how to get software for Linux. They are used to going down to PC World and
picking up a CD, putting that in the PC and installing. With Linux that is not how new software is
obtained, and this is my attempt to explain how to get new software onto your Linux machine. I use
KDE, so this is based around Adept, but it is fairly similar if you use Synaptic or something else.
OK, open up Adept. There are a variety of ways to do that, but the easiest is to ....

Watch Your Dvds On Your Ipod, Psp, Or Even Your Mobile Phone!

videos on your iPod simply import them into iTunes or use an alternative software such as Anapod
Explorer. This tutorial uses CloneDVD Mobile, although you can also use Nero Digital to convert
DVDs to MP4. First, you need to decrypt the DVD. I recommend AnyDVD (http://www.slysoft.com) for

operating system into the computer’s memory when the system is booted and also starts the

also know how to play around with 'em boot loaders too. And you should also make sure that y....

Tutorial: Installing D-shoutbox For Ipb V1.2
