The "4G iPodLinux installer" installs iPodLinux onto your 4th generation iPod, iPod Photo and iPod mini with no hassle. Once you have downloaded the iPodLinux Installer, download the latest builds of podzilla from iPodLinux.org http://ipodlinux.org/builds/ The two files I downloaded were: |
 |
Browse to the folder Contents/Resources/InstallationStuff/ Replace: 2005-08-23-kernel.bin and 2005-08-23-podzilla with the most recent builds that you have downloaded (see below). I renamed the recent builds as the same name, as the names of the files may be specific. |
 |
Close the window, Make sure your iPod is connected to the Computer and then double click the 4G iPodLinux Installer.app. Your iPod photo should appear in the list, if it does not you may need to make sure the iPod photo was Mac formatted. To format iPod photo for Macs, just download the iPod updater from Apple and restore. http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ Once podzilla has finished installing, I added a new folder while the iPod was still on my desktop called "video" and added two of the sample files from iPodlinux. http://www.ipodlinux.org/videos/DivingIpodPhoto.tgz http://watertastesgood.com/ipod/ant_ipod.zip |

Eject the iPod from the computer, press and hold the menu and center button at the same time. The iPod will reboot to Podzilla and using the file manager browse to the video directory and play The Video. |
