VaKo Posted January 7, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzy1 Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 it says "error reading firmware version from ipod data file" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rFayjW98ciLoNQLDZmFRKD Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I'm thinking about geing an Ipod just to install linux on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911alertme Posted January 7, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzy1 Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 i hope they come out with a version that works with 5.5g 80gb Ipod soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico Posted January 9, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mubix Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I put linux on my iPod video 30gb, it just wasn't worth it, so I switched it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harshbarj Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Perhaps a third option should have been added for "I don't own an ipod". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mubix Posted January 11, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
