There is a link on the left of this and every page marked manual.  Read it.

Please use some punctuation, your post is almost unreadable.

The manual contains links to everything you need to download.  You do not need linux.  Please read it again carefully, then if you still have problems please post exactly which instruction you do not understand.

1.  Click here:  http://download.rockbox.org/manual/rockbox-ipodvideo/rockbox-buildch2.html#x4-100002.3.1

2.  Read that chapter.  If you don't want to read the whole chapter, at least click the link for "Automated installation" and read that section.

Is your iPod set to Disk Mode in iTunes?
