I purchased Crossover Office because I'd read that iTunes worked under it on Linux. Of course being the impulsive person that I am, I didn't read far enough. The most recent version of iTunes that people had gotten working under cxoffice was 4.xsomething. It took me some time, but I eventually found someone hosting an iTunes.exe repository for older versions. I got it to run, but iirc, my iPod rejected it because I'd already been using a later version. I haven't tried in a while, but things may have improved since my first attempt about 9 months ago. -Mike -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
