Triboot ipod (linux, rockbox, Mac OS)

This tutorial will show you how to create a tri-boot for your ipod video

First their are a few things you should know
  • there is no way to brick your ipod
  • this tut is only tested on videos
  • if you ever have a problem with it booting to a single OS with out going to the main screen hold in MENU + the center button
    then on the reboot hold in the center button
  • any themes for Mac OS should be installed first
  • you will not loose all your music if you do it right the first time
  • don't update your ipod in itunes
  • Parts are not interchangeable they must be done in the order presented

Is it hard?
i needed to reformat 12 times before i got it right but then again i was guessing how to do it cus i din't have a tut. Honestly if you fallow this your shouldn't have any problems

How do i know weather my ipod is a 5G or a 5.5G?
Simple if your ipod has a search feature when you click music its a 5.5G
it it doesn't then its a 5G
