Knoppix on iPod?

Ok, I got the floppy to work and I can now save the config to it. That's taken care of.

Now, when I type "sudo fdisk -l" into the konsole I get this:

knoppix@ttyp0[knoppix]$ sudo fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 10.0 GB, 10000005120 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1215 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 5 40131 0 Empty
/dev/sda2 * 6 1215 9719325 b W95 FAT32

Disk /dev/hda: 122.9 GB, 122942324736 bytes
240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 15881 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 = 7741440 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 15881 120060328+ 7 HPFS/NTFS

So it looks (to me) that it can see the iPod, but when I try and save the home dir to it tells me "The KNOPPIX configuration could not be saved: mount: wrong FS type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda, or too many mounted file systems."

Hmmmm. I'm still confused by the umpteen sda(?)entries.

Apple are strange folk, but is the disk really 4 seperate partitions? How does it appear in other OSs?

My Neuros appears as 1 partition with a number of seperate directories ( a flat structure, except for the /music which has seperate sub directories).

I don't know how many it is in XP (how do I check that?). It does show up as 1 drive F: in WinXP though.

Yeah, I meant one drive (with one partition). If all the directories you expect are on that drive, that would seem to be what it is.

I wonder if Knoppix isn't picking up your usb hub correctly?
