Yellow Dog Linux Installs Neatly on an iPod (Linux Journal)
Dave Taylor installs
Yellow Dog Linux on an iPod. "I had a spare Apple iPod, a
first-generation 5GB device that worked via the Firewire interface rather
than the more modern USB connection, and I was assured by the folks at
Yellow Dog that I could squeeze YDL into as small as 1GB. I have plenty of
space on a 5GB device. Of course, I already had a gig of music and audio
books I wanted to preserve, so the first test was to see if I could
repartition the device to grab 3GB for Linux and keep 2GB for audio and
iPod content. The perfect stealth Linux device, right?"

Yellow Dog Linux Installs Neatly on an iPod (Linux Journal) Posted May 2, 2006 2:31 UTC (Tue) by k8to (subscriber, #15413) [Link] I'm probably just being a curmudgeon, but I wish people talking about installing linux on iPods and similar devices would be clearer about whether they mean storing linux on an ipod (to execute on a host computer such as a mac or pc) versus executing linux on the ipod's processor. I would assume the latter from this title.
Yellow Dog Linux Installs Neatly on an iPod (Linux Journal) Posted May 2, 2006 6:56 UTC (Tue) by Klavs (subscriber, #10563) [Link] I fully agree (although I didn't think it was a problem before now). I figured the article was about actually running YDL on an Ipod, but it's simply about making an Ipod work as a Linux LiveCD.That's a pretty misleading article extract IMHO.
