Ok, I yum installed amarok and it runs but I don't see how to make it

What type of iPod are you tryng to connect?
I've succesfull connected iPod from all the previous generation, not
tried with the newest (iPod touch - iPod new Nano large screen etc).
Normally, when I plug for the first time one iPod Amarok display a
dialog asking if I want to manage the device and the the type of this.
Then the entire db is displayed and you can copy from and into the
iPod from your amarok music library. Try to unplug and then plug in
the iPod when amarok is up and running, what happens?
What is in your /var/log/messages ?
And finally what lsusb report about your iPod?

I think it's called a "mini" but I'm not certain. Bought them about
two years ago so they are not the latest!
/var/log/messages [This looks like the appropriate part after
plugging in the ipod.]

As for the file system it uses, I don't know anything about it but
it is whatever it was delivered with and the kids deal with it via
Windows XP.
I think I am beginning to lose interest in the project.
