The USB method seems to be a lot easier than the Firewire ...
Make a directory /mnt/ipod with appropriate permissions. Install the apps by running wajig install hfsplus hfsutils hfsutils-tcltk libhfsp0. Edit your /etc/fstab file to have an entry like:
/dev/sda3 /mnt/ipod hfsplus user,noauto,sync,uid=1002,gid=1002 0 0 |
Your iPod may come up as sdb, sdc, etc., so change appropriately.
Connect your iPod to a USB 2.0 port on your computer. mount /mnt/ipod. Now it should be working. I like using gtkpod, but there are many others available.
Remember to umount /mnt/ipod before disconnecting to avoid corrupting the filesystem (the iPod will still say ``Do Not Disconnect'', but as long as you've unmounted it, you should be right to disconnect it).
