Cool. Added this to my Linux bookmarks on TekTag.

Thank you so much! :D

I was certain there was a way to get my ipod to work in Debian Etch, but I made the mistake of installing gtkpod right on top of my pre-existing rhythmbox, which wiped out my sound support! I re-installed Debian, and just plugged the ipod in...and it works! Who knew? Thanks again! ---somnombulist

Anyone else having problems with famd not letting Rhythmbox unmount ? [EDIT: I posted this as a thread in the forum. See the link here]

Wow, color me impressed. I was having a terrible time getting my 5.5 G working with some semblance of \"normal\" on linux. Just installed Etch and am way impressed with it already... finding your article and trying it out just floored me! Say wow! Thanks so much for this bit! Many Cheers, Julie in AZ

Fixing the fs on your ipod

Seems like you got hfs on your ipod. I'm running debian lenny, I installed "msdostools" and ran mkfs.vfat /dev/xxxx You get the point, right ? =] Anyways, hope this helps someone.
