Tossing around an idea for my next project...
I have a 30GB iPod 5th generation.
I was wondering if it's possible to get Ubuntu to boot from it, and
still have iTunes use it as normal (with reduced capacity, of course)
One method I thought of was to use GParted to shrink the existing
partiton, to free up 10GB for Ubuntu partition.
The other was to go the persistent/live USB key method. This might be
the better option, since teh free space is usable by either iTunes/iPod,
or Ubuntu.
Any thoughts?
