If I want to read a Wikipedia entry, I just turn on the iPod backlight for a moment if I can't read the text. To my knowledge, there is NO other way to change the contrast.

I can't see a thing. Hoping you could give me a step by step (click by click) process on how to reach the menu item to change the contrast.

It's only a two gig, so it would leave me no room for anything else, but that's not really the issue. My issue is the fact that it seems to be fairly unstable. It crashes from time to time (but that might be because I have it formatted for Windows. Someone show me something formatted for Windows that doesn't crash periodically, and I will bow down to you :P) and it would make me nervous to install this with such a mottled running history. Besides, I don't think 1st gen nanos are officially supported by iPodLinux, are they? I hear they can run it, but it's haphazard. Anyone have any pros and cons to me installing this?
