if your ipod has a search function it is a 5.5

it doesnt seem to have a search function, where would it be located exactly?under extras?

no u go under music and its within that directory.

mine has a search function...hmm....what can i do with linux on my ipod?

umm run homebrew. lol

before i had a psp i installed ipod linux to play gameboy on my nano.

oh btw ipod linux is available on all versions of ipod from 1g to 5.5
