sorry if this is a stupid question (uh look at my rating... but...
Once I hack my touch, then what? Can I install any OS X software that will fit in memory? Or is there a list of applicable software somewhere
You are limited to those designed for the iPod Touch. There are quite a few, though.
Ok, I try and put the software back on using putfile iphonefs/rdisk0s1.dmg /dev/rdisk0s1
but it says failed to open remote file 8.
Sorry for all the questions.

It's likely then it isn't starting all the way. You should probably restore and start over.
I've found anywhere from 15 seconds to 2 minutes, but not really any longer.
try adding /bin/ to the beginning of the chmod command. So it's like: /bin/chmod ...etc
ok great, it just restarted again. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't frozen.
Does it go back to the home screen at all after rebooting? or does it keep on rebooting. It's flickered twice so far and back to apple image.

Yea, key is not to get too impatient. Sometimes, even though it won't make it to spring board and it will idle on the apple, it's even then recoverable. I installed Summerboard and it did the same thing, so I had to SSH to it, move a new copy of springboard to the ipod, restart, and use Installer.app to uninstall it. Point is, why start over when you can fix it?
Ok i'm at the ssh part and I can't connect.
I tried both the ip address on the touch and my real IP but neither work.
ssh: root: No address associated with nodename

I try it with my real ip and the same deal

I hate to point out PEBCAK, especially since I was just a victim of it, but... -1 should be -l (thats an L, but lowercase).
Oh i did everything and entered the alpine password and the last thing it says is -sh-3.2# . That's correct right? Now im going in with Cyberduck.
You got it! Now's the fun part, (yes it's actually fun), you get to fix your syncing and install the springboard hack.
It's indeed stuck and not loading after several minutes? Can you recap what you've done so far?
Also, I've got to run to class in a few minutes, if you can stand to wait about 45 mins (30 min drive), we can talk via AIM or whatever you prefer.
err just pm me your aim name. I can't do anything right now, it's just stuck on the apple logo.
I was at the ssh independence step
rebooting
and it was at the apple logo
then it rebooted
and same thing with the ring in the middle of the apple
then rebooted
and same thing
and it repeated it self
so i was like phuc, something is wrong.
so i turned it off
and now it's stuck.
