I don't like all the crap that comes with the 20MB firmware. Can someone post just this so I don't have to install the whole thing and then uninstall after I found the updater? I don't like all the services running that come with the full instal.
Thanks!

The firmware is not included in that download (since the firmware is not a 20MB download, I am assuming you are referring to the 19MB iTunes download). You get it separately from http://www.apple.com/ipod/download .tubedogg at 2007-11-15 17:04:43 >

The update was 17MB, which seems a bit large for what it is. So I dl'ed 40MB from apple yesterday including iTunes.Kee-Lo at 2007-11-15 17:07:46 >

I couldn't get the setup to install the updater software (same problem I had with 2.0.1), it'd just run without an error but not install anything.I managed to get the updater by running the setup.exe file and once it gets to the license?? screen where you have to click next, either do a search for iPod-for-win-updater-instlr.exe or if your on Win XP/Win2000 go to your hidden temp directory (in documents & settings/your username/local settings/temp/) and their will be a folder in their containing the unpacked updater exe.

OK, it is 17.9MB, I was rounding. Still a big install that is unnecessary IMO. I tried to extract the files with winrar and winzip. All I got was a bunch of cab's and determined it was not worth the effort to extract the cab's, so I installed, copied ipodupdater.exe and then uninstalled, which removed ipod service:)
On 2.1, I love it, I swear my tunes sound better. The firmware upgrade went flawless too.
Thanks,
