iPods on Linux are a problem but I have got mine working with gtkpod
after some effort. Unfortunately the gtkpod interface is not exactly
intuitive so I went back to the dreaded iTunes. I keep a minimal install
of XP purely to sync my iPods

That said, you need to create a mount point for the iPod and get gtkpod
to create the directory structure. It took me several tries to get it
working and it was not at all consistent. The gtkpod documentation is
not exactly helpful either.

Sorry to be so negative. Perhaps someone else has had more success.

Regards, Joe.
