BlogTuts has get together a great tutorial on how to get Linux running on your 1 G , 2 G or 4 G photo iPod . Everything you need is right on the page — the modded installer plus the lastest Podzilla and uClinux Kernel . Nice to see this come along since iPodLinux.org had a server crash and seems to have run off the rails a bit .
Update : Ipod Linux Dev squad fellow member Yorgle wrote in to clarify that Floydzilla is a “ third party podzillae . ” To understand what that means , take his full gossip after the jump .
How to instal iPod Linux on 1 & 2 G mini , 4 g-force , Photo from Windows[BlogTuts ]
[ Thanks Alex ! ]
It should be take down that “ Floydzilla ” is what we call a “ third company
podzillae ” . It ’s not made , endorsed , or supported by the core iPod
Linux / Podzilla team . It ’s made by someone else .
What ’s the significance of this ?
The tutorial linked to in the gizmodo post works just as well with the
stick out “ podzilla ” app . Floydzilla include a few supererogatory
tot - ons that we have either not integrate into the podzilla core yet ,
or will not integrate into the podzilla core , due to content ,
constancy , or terribleness of the code . Someone , DansFloyd in this
caseful , took all of the core , stable “ podzilla ” source , changed a few
text string here and there , tot in a clustering of precarious , untested
code into it , and passes it off as their own oeuvre .
The routine linked to is also not support by the iPodLinux dev
team . Installers will be coming out very before long to support the 4 g ,
mini , mini2 , photo , and color iPods , so that anyone can instal
podzilla via a point - and - click port from Mac or Windows .
Just fyi and clobber . 🙂
