[ale] Mount an ipod

[Jay Loden]

You can mount it, as far as I know, you just have to make sure you mount it 
in /mnt/ipod and that the permissions are ok.  However, I do not have an HFS 
iPod, so I can't be sure about that part.  

As long as it mounts ok, in the right directory, gtkpod should be ok. I had 
trouble with this on Mandrake too, until I got the permissions right in fstab 
to mount the drive for an ordinary user.
