Or, if you'd prefer the hfsplus file system to FAT32 (and who
wouldn't), you can check out the HFS+ iPod howto on the Gentoo wiki -
that's what I did.  There's the Apple code for mkfs.hfsplus and
fsck.hfsplus, both of which you'll need.  I'm sorry I don't have a
link at the moment.

If you ever want to have files >= 4GB on your iPod, you'll need to use
hfsplus - FAT32 won't handle it.
