Hmm...

I installed YamiPod on F9, installed the libfmodex.so.4.02.05
file to /usr/lib & YamiPod to /usr/bin and set the context and
permissions for both.

Next I ran YamiPod with no iPod actually mounted and
since there is no exit/quit in any menus, proceeded to click
the windows X button and got this crash bug report:

$ YamiPod
(YamiPod:8637): Gtk-CRITICAL **: _gtk_accel_group_attach: assertion 
`g_slist_find (accel_group->acceleratables, object) == NULL' failed
YamiPod: pcm.c:1216: snd_pcm_writei: Assertion `size == 0 || buffer' failed.
77b793e8-2da4-8300-0188d939-745a4c34 is dumped

As for mounting the iPod in /mnt or /media, where is the
instructions for doing that and what exactly needs to be
done to ensure that it is mounted rw?

I assume that plugging in the iPod automatically mounts
to /media but not sure, and if it mounts rw?  I have used
the iPod on F9 and gtkPod and it works.

Thanks!
