Ipod linux Windows installer
180px-IPodLinux.jpg

Early march 2006 *Josh* released a new installer of linux for the ipod. This installer effortlessly editited and implimented ipod linux onto the ipod, with the options of a number of extra packages, the ability to change the partion size and most importantly removed the need to use command prompts and SLAX to install linux.

The main purpose of this installer was to allow users to install ipl (ipod linux) using a windows based computer.

The isntaller included a number of new features, most namely was the support for the ipod nano and ipod with video.

The first version of this installer worked flawlessly for the ipod nanos however issues were raised with insalling to the ipod with video. The second version of this installer was released but unfortunetly was prone to constant crashing. The latest installer however, released on 26/04/06, now works flawlessly, with new options to load external packages throught a disk aswell as a number of new online packages to download.

A particular feature of this installer alows the user to desided weather to run the default apple os or the linux os when first booted.

The new installer runs using podzilla2 (pz2) the forum discussing bugs, issues and general praise can be found here

The official ipod linux page can be found here

Please download the installer here

Please note 5g ipods do not currently support games such as the popular idoom, however updates in the future may resolve this issue. Other games such as 3d snake, chess, pong etc can be downloaded using the package selection option in the installer. Also it is wise to remeber using this installer and ipl in general will not damage your ipod in anyway, and is completely reversable by restoring your ipod by formatting or using the installer. No ipod has ever been damaged using an ipod linux installation, however ipl does not offer support to any incidents that may happen.
