How to Install Wikipedia on Your iPod
makeuseof.com's Mark O'Neill says:
I have an old 20GB iPod and even though I have a lot of music on there, I am only taking up half of the space available. So there's another 10GB kicking around doing nothing and so I decided to start putting some useful iPod tools on there for when I'm on the move. Some of that space was allocated for installing one of my favourite websites - Wikipedia.
Yes that's right. Thanks to iPodLinux, you can now have the entire Wikipedia encylopedia on your iPod.....

Add INTERNAL Bluetooth Capability To Your iPod
instructables.com's fstedieon says:
Note: I am using a 20GB iPod which I have already converted to use Flash memory (see my instructable on how to do this). Removing the original 20GB drive gives me enough room to install the Bluetooth circuit board. If you want to keep your hard drive, you might want to procure a 40GB or 60GB backing for your iPod so that you have enough room.
