Subject: Linux on iPod

Hi all,

I've recently discovered that I could run Linux on an iPod
(http://ipodlinux.org/). The problem is that they seems to use an old
version of the uclinux kernel (2.4.x serie) adapted for the PP500x/PP502x.

I have few questions about this:

1) I tried to look how to configure a kernel (through menuconfig) to get
access to non-MMU able CPUs, but I failed. What is the trick ? :)

2) The PP500x/PP502x chipset serie seems to be a dual-ARM7, is there any
plan to support this architecture (even something experimental could fit
to me).

That's all folks
