Restoring the Wiki
The page http://ipodlinux.org/Windows_4G_Installer_using_Nightly_Builds appears incomplete. I suppose it's a problem caused by the restoring process. Can you fix it?
- Fixed. Thanks for pointing out!
[1] I'm not sure if this is due to the author of Floydzilla, or the crash, but the section giving refrence to windows installation and links to windows installer are missing. Again, I'm not sure if this is due to the crash or not, but thought I'd point it out
- Fixed. Thanks! Josh 22:00, 26 Oct 2005 (CDT)
It appears there's another user that likes to spam the Wiki. His contributions are all spam...The first one I noticed was on the Generations page. Hope this helps to clean up some of the spam =) --Pcjabber 22:53, 8 Jan 2006 (CST)
Is there a way we can add a CAPTCHA to the new user page? At least that will cut down on the bot-generated spam. --jonrelay 23:11, 9 Jan 2006 (PST)
General_disclaimer is a worthless page, yet apparently it didn't survive the restore. There is something wrong with the wikiDB cache refresher -- attempts to edit the page report an "edit conflict." Delete it perhaps? Gumby 00:24, 15 Apr 2006 (CDT)
Miscellaneous
i try to install the bootsplash in my ipl for photo ipod but i don´t understand the rc fix, did you have some example ¡????? if you have some one please send me a email techno.mayix@gmail.com thanks!!
- If you're running Linux or OS X, mount your iPod's Linux partition and edit /etc/rc on the iPod using a text editor. If you're on Windows, there's no easy way to edit it, which is why the page says "Linux / OS X Installation." and "Windows is not yet supported", among other things. Please be patient.

- Hi their, if you are using Windows, this way of installation is not supported neither by the devs or Josh (i dont think). Firstly the rc file you need to get it of etc/rc so you make a standard start file to copy this to your ipods viewable root under diskmode (windows). (you should know what a start file is considering iPod Linux is working fine).
Once you have it, open the rc file 'as if' it were a start file. Open with 'notepad' Then follow the simple basic instructions to add the code lines. (these code lines are the same for linux/os x).
EXAMPLE rc file: mount -t proc proc /proc
bootsplash /etc/rc && while true; do podzilla; done : ipl Initializing iPod Linux hostname ipod cat /etc/motd : hd Mounting HDDs ln -s /dev/pty/m0 /dev/ptyp0 ln -s /dev/pty/m1 /dev/ptyp1 ln -s /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc /dev/hda ln -s /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /dev/hda1 : music Audio/Video Drivers ln -s /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 /dev/hda2 ln -s /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 /dev/hda3 ln -s /dev/tts/1 /dev/ttyS1 mknod /dev/ttyp0 c 3 0 mknod /dev/ttyp1 c 3 0 : net Starting Network Prcs. ifconfig eth0 192.168.222.2 mtu 170 hdparm -S 3 /dev/hda mount -t vfat /dev/hda2 /hp : done Starting podzilla sh /hp/start : STOP podzilla

Podzilla Thing
I apologize for using the project page - i was doubtful that it would be allowed.
Not exactly sure why people would absolutely NEED to have it, but I guess it is useful...
What it is is a program that in your 'My Documents' directory (im assuming you know about Windows - you mustve helped develop podzilla...) creates a 'podillaput library'. Within the program, you can add Images, text files, and converted videos to your 'podzillaput Library'. You can constantly add more and more things,and when you are finished adding them, you can copy them to your podzilla-enabled ipod. It also copies text files to the Notes directory so you can also read them from the Apple Firmware.
What I plean to add in vesion 2:
a) a video converter b) a texfile maker c) ports for Mac(Linux should be able to use WINE) d) autodetecting of iPods connectivity (Mabye)
Hope this helps... Comment back.
Thanks for the help
Thanks for the help with my user page! I'm really bad at making tables on wikis! lol :P
check it out!

Another thanks for help with the Installer_2. I forgot about the automount ! I've left my error report in case someone finds it useful... Just delete it if you want ! -- dofin 16:45, 21 Jun 2006 (CDT)
My bad
sorry about that bio thing, I didnt know someone deleted it. I thought I messed up. ~Ranix
Loader 2 Args
THANK YOU for updating the installer source for Loader 2 v2.4. This really makes installation foolproof. I have a concern though; it doesn't look like the rc script gets changed to actually parse and eval the getLoader2Args. Can we automate the patch of the rc script too? Thanks.

Some Guy
Hello, could you please help me in getting started using OS X to compile "Programs" for my "iPod", which is HFS formatted and my computer is running "Mac OS X" (p.s. I am finding it difficult to get started) Could you give me a step by step guide, telling me where to enter text, not just saying "Use: /usr/abcd.123 -I infinity=iPod -O "/usr/bin/trash/empty.txt", including example source that I can download and compile. (am fairly competent with c/c++) GstrOSx 22:51, 3 Nov 2006 (CST)
Installer 2.3
Hey Josh, just wanted to make you aware of issues with the 2.3 installer. So far on the testing page, no one has reported a complete install with the new version. Looks like most are getting stuck on the formatting part. I would love to help get this fixed, so let me know how I can help. Camaross465 21:20, 12 Jan 2007 (CST)
Rawpod partitioning tool
Im compiling rawpod, mainly to have a way to partiton my ipod from windows. But when i run make. It doesn't make a exe in mke2fs. How do i get the exe of that? + wat is iMOOOOOOO?
--zacaj 21:41, 26 Jan 2007 (CST)
- Rawpod doesn't have a command-line partitioning tool. It does have partitioning functions, as used by the installer, but they aren't separately accessible without writing some code. `imoo' is an app to write COW (copy-on-write) files back to a device. It has few uses outside of development. — Josh (talk) 01:43, 27 Jan 2007 (CST)
could you give me an example of the code? ike what id need that when compiled, you could run the program and it would partition the ipod, or tell me how to make an exe of mke2fs? --zacaj 05:51, 27 Jan 2007 (CST)
