3G 40GB, Linux Ubuntu install

[dr7heads]

Trying to have some fun with my old 3rd gen, but I can't get through step 1 on the install.

I can't move .roockbox onto my ipod.  I get the message:

cannot create directory `/media/ipod/.rockbox': Read-only file system

You Ipod is mounted readonly, or you system had problems and mounted the Ipod readonly. You need to fix this first.

How do I do this?

Well, you might want to find out why the Ipod is mounted read only in the first place. Besides, how to mount a drive is a basic linux question and kinda out of the scope of these forums ...
