I don't think you can.

Here is what is compatible with putting Linux into you're iPod....

(What I'm trying to say is that this is the versions that can do the project and which can't)

1st Generation iPod - WORKS

2nd Generation iPod - WORKS

3rd Generation iPod - WORKS

1st Generation iPod nano - WORKS

2nd Generation iPod nano - DOESN'T

5th Generation iPod (Video) - COMES WITH BUGS

Note this: 1st-3rd Generation iPods are the type YOU want to use for thus operation.

While not exactly linux, you may wish to look into Rockbox, an open source alternative to the iPod firmware.
