linux on ipod nano?

["Richard Lyons" <richard@the-place.net>]

Sorry to repeat, but I stupidly tagged this question on to another
thread, and I guess nobody noticed.  So I'll put it differently:

Does anybody understand the error I am getting from gpod:

    Failed to remove watch

Sounds to me like a text message from a pickpocket.  But it seems to
indicate a problem that prevents unmounting/ejecting the ipod.  I
suppose, therefore that I am risking corrupting the database if I
unplug it anyway.

I therefore seem to have two options:

  - find out how to unmount the ipod and resolve the error.

  - install ipodlinux on the ipod.  There seems to be a good guide to
    this at http://opax.swin.edu.au/~reino/nanolinux.htm.

It is an ipod nano second series.  Any enlightening comments?

TIA
