Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] G4 iPod Experiences

[<le...@bo...>]

The PP5020 should not be too big a problem, infact it should
mean Linux runs somewhat better on the iPod (and the USB
on-the-go possibilities are quite cool too).

The real sticking point is that the 4g shares the new
firmware image format that was introduced with the mini. 
Sofar this has not been reverse enginered and so we can't
run custom applications (e.g. the linux kernel) on these
models.  If that problem were solved it probably would boot
(depending on how backward compatible the '020 is of
course).

cheers,
bern.
