VaKo Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Sorry mate, the staff psychic is away today, so we can't auto-magically know what errors you were getting. Could you post them here? Quote
dizzy1 Posted January 7, 2007 Author Posted January 7, 2007 it says "error reading firmware version from ipod data file" Quote

rFayjW98ciLoNQLDZmFRKD Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I'm thinking about geing an Ipod just to install linux on it. Quote
911alertme Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I have the 80g ipod too. I really was looking forward to installing linux on it but you can't. And if your looking for updates it is more commonly called a 5.5g rather than a 5g. Quote
dizzy1 Posted January 7, 2007 Author Posted January 7, 2007 i hope they come out with a version that works with 5.5g 80gb Ipod soon. Quote
nico Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 I'm thinking about geing an Ipod just to install linux on it. Me too, but it's quite expensive just to put linux on it :cry: Quote
mubix Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 I put linux on my iPod video 30gb, it just wasn't worth it, so I switched it back. Quote
harshbarj Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Perhaps a third option should have been added for "I don't own an ipod". Quote
mubix Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 Perhaps a third option should have been added for "I don't own an ipod". that, or change the question around to "Would you put linux on your ipod?" Quote
