tring to install for the first time. my iPod was formatted with an incompatible format so i ran these commands in the Terminal:
------------------
popstar:~/desktop usershortname$ dd if=mbr-video60gb.bin of=/dev/disk2s3
1+0 records in
1+0 records out

-----------------------------
i did this once, then opened iTunes and let iTunes reformat the iPod... apparently this wasn't what i should have done because the i was getting the same error when trying to backup the firmware.
now that my ipod is formatted correctly, and i'm using a mac, what do i do next?
i had a half dozen web pages open but my browser crashed and i forget where i was within the help section.

thanks,
chris
