Installing Linux on iPod video


woopidoo2

Recommended Posts

Ive tried to install it, but it couldnt install it due to an error

 

(I dont really know what error it was, he just couldnt install it)

 

 

 

Are there more people around here who have Linux on their' iPods, to play games? and how did they install it?

 

 

 

Ive searched for tutorials and such, but so far no good outcome.

Ive started that tutorial, its alot more work then I expected #-o

 

 

 

All those directries... I think I dont want to risk any damage to my computer, my parents would freak out :?

 

 

 

Is this whole 'repacing files' and changing directries dangerous for the whole computer? (and files, could my computer crash?)

I don't think you have to change any files on the computer itself, but a lot on the ipod. Or atleast I don't remember creating any files on my computer when I did it (except for the files to put on the ipod of course), but that was a long time ago.

 

 

 

If you do infact mess the ipod up you can restore it with Apple's ipod restore utility. You will lose all your songs on the ipod but that shouldn't be a problem if they are stored in Itunes.

I'd rather die for what I believe in than live for anything else.

it wont ruin it all you have to do it wipe the hdd on it with the install that apple provides

 

the risk of bricking the iPod is less then 1%
