Eureka! iPodLinux has been successfully installed on a 5.5g iPod (Winpods and Macpods, 30 and 80 gig units). The 80GB iPods initially had problems and needed a ‘dirty hack’ because the kernel had trouble mounting the Root-FS. You should bow down to DataGhost and his genius in allowing us to have the penguin on the pod.

If you’re unsure why anyone would want Linux on their iPod, well the answer is quite simple… because we can. Actually, it allows for infinite possibilities on expanding your hard drive driven device.
