Just jailbroken my iPod. What is the file called that allows me to get apps from iTunes for free? Is is dTunes or not?

Installed it and so far I'm impressed with it. Mind you I have only been on MSN and browsed the internet with it, so haven't really tested it with any programs as of yet.

Once jailbroken, can you still use iTunes to put music onto the iPod or not?

Somehow, with everything sam says in here, I have the terrible feeling it'll end in tears.

Why? I was just asking what it's advantages and disadvantages are basically, so then I can come to a conclusion on whether I should or shouldn't jailbreak my iPod.

You can always reset the iPod, so how will it end in tears.

I will try it out Just have to get the 2.2 update from my laptop at my mums house so I can jailbreak it.

Okay

Okay, I will have to go around my mums then and get the 2.2 version update that I bought for my iPod Touch then. Is there a jailbreak version out yet for 2.2?

Good on ya Sam, you see it wasn't all that hard

I was also trying to do it when I was really tired last night lol. Just sat down and read it and done what you guys said to do really.

Going to install my Wifi adapter and then Wine, any other programs I should put on it that are good?

I am thinking of jailbreaking my iPod touch but don't know if I should or not?
Does anyone here have a jailbroken iPod Touch and tell me what it has to offer.

The alternate CD is a lot better for setting up the partition for myself.

I know have it installed on it's seperate partition.

Just have to install my WiFi adapter on Ubuntu now and start downloading some software.

Ah okay, I think I understand now. just hope it will allow me to install Linux on it's own dedicated partition I will use Wubi for the meantime whilst I get a better understanding on installing Ubuntu to a partition

Thanks for your help & advice guys.

Quote from JohnUK89 :

Your partition layout is simple - only one drive actually has partitions on it. Use the partitioning tool in the installer (click on Manual partitioning) and create an ext3 partition (make sure it's a logical partition, it should automatically create the Extended to contain it inside), give it mount point / and then create a Linux Swap partition. The size of the swap partition would depend on the amount of RAM you have - if you have over 2GB then realistically you shouldn't need a swap partition at all, but if you plan to hibernate you'll need one that's at least as big as the amount of RAM you have

What do you mean by mount point?

Sorry for asking so many question...

Wubi has finished installing, on start up it asks what OS I want to use

I have 3GB of ram, so would I need a swap partition as I never set my computers to hibernate lol.

This is what my partitions look like:

I have came up with an idea. If I install Ubuntu on my old failing hard drive and then copy all the files over from the old hard drive to a partition on my current hard drive, would it work or not?

Also when creating partitions in Disk Management, you can only create NTFS partitions. How do I go about creating a ext3 partition and a Linux Swap partition?

How do I know what the partition will be called when installing from the CD because it calls each partition something like SDE1 and so on.

Quote from JohnUK89 :

On startup it'll ask you which OS to boot. Uninstalling is as simple as using Add/Remove Programs - there'll be an entry for Ubuntu in there.

K, cheers. Just have to see whether it will pick up my partition I have made for it when I go to install the OS using the CD. If not I will have to put it on my failing hard drive for a bit until I know if I am allowed a 40gb hard drive out of an old PC lol.

So how will I go about choosing what OS to run. On start up will it ask me whether I want to run Vista or Ubuntu?

I will uninstall it after it has finished then and install it using the CD.

So will I have to uninstall Ubuntu from inside Ubuntu or can I do that within Windows?

If I install Ubuntu using Wubi, will it install Ubuntu as an application or as a OS. So on startup I can chose what I want to run... Windows or Ubuntu?

I have it installing it using Wubi now.

What is Wubi? Sorry I barely know anything about Linux.

I know you can put the disk in and chose whether to install it as an application inside windows, to install it along side windows or to install is as the only operating system.

I want it to have it's seperate partition and not to be an application inside Windows.

I am a bit stuck lol.

This is what my partitions are like atm:

Quote from bunder9999 :

easiest way is to put it on a drive by itself... those gui partitioners blow.

The only thing is, the only spare hard drive I have is failing lol.

Quote from wien :

It asks you if you want to use the whole drive or just a part of it. You obviously have to select the appropriate option.

I did, but even if I pressed manual or to use the free space (Unallocated) it still says that it will use 100% of the hard drive.

I am trying to install Ubuntu along side Windows but for some strange reason it wants to use the whole drive and not the free space?
I think it is going to repartition my drive and not make new partitions.

I am using the Live CD to install, would it make a difference if I used the alternate cd?

Why is this?
