iPod Linux Installer

Here's a simple installer for you guys!

iPod-Linux Installer

The original iPod Linux site has been, sadly, suspended. It used to be such a great resource, but oh well.

I tried this on a first gen Nano when I had one, and it worked perfectly. Very easy to use, very simple, takes only a minute or so.

Anyone still have a 1st gen nano or OLDER iPod?

A compatibility chart can be found here: iPodLinux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Have fun folks!

You might as well do this to them; doesn't hurt, lol. I'm assuming you don't have any warranty to begin with.

I believe you can just use the Installer linked to in the first post.

i just wonder when the linux will be ready for the touch and if it will actually just be a slimmed down version at first. I've been following the developments since they first mentioned it.

**jguest** · 09-13-2008, 01:29 PM

Even if they do though... will it really be that much better than the software already on there? They'd have to do A TON to make me want to switch to it!

**AKay724** · 09-13-2008, 05:10 PM

man im running into nothing but problems, the installer keeps crapping out on me in vista.
Im using a netless installer because ipodlinux.org is down.
