okay.
i have an Asus EEE PC and an Acer Aspire One. Both of them run on Linux.
I plugged my iPod to my EEE PC and it only recognizes it as a source of music. Meaning you can play songs from the iPod.
When I plugged the iPod to the Aspire One it recognizes it as an external hard drive.
I was hoping both netbooks I have would recognize the iPod as an external hard drive since I have a lot of files to backup. Is there a way to make the EEE PC recognize the iPod as an external hard drive?

How are you judging that your Ipod is showing up as a media device or as an external hard drive, can you hook up your Ipod to your EEE and paste your mount info? All you need to make your Ipod an external drive is for it to be read/write, also are both your EEE and Acer One using the same distro?

What I mean by mount info is plug in your Ipod, or other device, and let the system auto mount then in the command line type mount and paste the results.

To be able to read NTFS partitions you need to have the FUSE driver installed in your system.
