There is no automatic installer for the 6G.  You have to do it manually.

Not presently.

thank for quick reply... but when i go in manual install... there is no ipod classic.. which one do I have to install?
My IPOD classic 80 gb HAS FYY5N LAST WORD OF THE SERIAL....

By manual install, I mean you will not be using rockbox utility.  Have you looked at the installation instructions for your ipod (which you should probably verify is actually a 6G).

excuse me.. i am not a newbie (in computer/android) but i don't understand.
if i go in the manual i go in this page
http://www.rockbox.org/manual.shtml
but there is not my model....(i am sure about 6th gen is an 80gb...)

in internet i found this link but i think it is not the same

There is no manual, the 6G port is not stable and not officially supported.

I'm guessing you haven't seen this yet, so take a look at it now:

but there are youtube videos with people with ipod classic with rockbox..
i don't want to have problem with my ipod.. when there will be a stable version for this ipod? is a question of month or years?

Due to the nature of the project, it is impossible to say.

Maybe yes.
Maybe no.
Maybe next release, maybe never.

ok thanks. but someone made it work on this ipod 6th generation or brick ?

[[Saint]]

Oh, yes, of course. Also, there is absolutely zero risk of bricking the device. There are some possibly interesting situations you could get yourself into with some of the more advanced features of emCORE that might be difficult to recover from - but you would need to make a conscious and deliberate effort to do things that in most cases the tools will (try to) prevent you from doing.

TL;DR: "Yes, there is, and no, you won't brick the device".

You may want to head over to the freemyipod project's interactive installer guide for the iPod Classic. At the present point, there is no officially supported Rockbox bootloader. Keep in mind that there is no dual-boot support, and installation will wipe ALL data on the device.

But if I wipe data is there the possibility to re flash the old operative system? I have stored.music files. there is.no problem with those files. is it possible to re installs the original apple OS? Thanks

[[Saint]]

Yes.
