sorry the dude. i only have the untethered jailbreak for windows. if u could get to a computer that has windows then give this a try.
This is a step by step guide on how to jailbreak ur 2nd gen ipod touch with firmware 2.2.1 on windows *make sure u have winrar installed in ur pc*.
-if u have windows vista this is how u install libusb
Right click on libusb installer, then select properties
Under compatibility tab, check execute this program in Windows XP service pack 2 and check execute as administrator
-go to the link below and download the following (libusb, c++ red, unofficialsn0w, firmware 2.2.1)
-install libusb
-install c++ red
-extract unofficialsn0w (exract it to ur desktop so it is easy to find)

-rename the 2.2.1 firmware that you’ve downloaded OriginalFW
-open the extracted unofficialsn0w folder and in it u will another folder called IPSW
-drag and drop OriginalFW in that folder.
-go back into the unofficialsn0w folder
-look for a FILE called IPSW
-there are two of them
-one of them should begin to jailbreak the OriginalFW
-it should take a while (just click on both of them until u hit the right one)
-once it is finished with the jailbreak
-open the IPSW FOLDER
-in it should be two firmwares. one called OriginalFW another called JB
-right click JB and open with winrar
-navigate your way to Firmwareall_flashall_flash.n72ap.production
-once in there minimize it
-in the same IPSW FOLDER there is a file called
-LLB.n72ap.RELEASE.img3
-drag and drop “LLB.n72ap.RELEASE.img3″ into the minimized JB folder Firmwareall_flashall_flash.n72ap.production
-now u can close everything
-plug in ur ipod
-place ur ipod into recovery (dfu) mode
how to place ipod into recovery mode
-while plugged in
-hold down the home button and count to 5
-(while holding down the home button) hold down the home button and count to 10
-now let go of the power button and keep ur finger on the home button until it goes into dfu mode
-note that this part is tricky and where a lot of ppl tend to go wrong
-if it does not go into dfu mode just try the procedure over again until it does.
-once ur ipod is in recovery (dfu) mode
-open itunes
-a window will pop up saaying ur ipood is recovery mode
-click ok
-open the unofficialsn0w FOLDER once more
-double click on a FILE called RUNME
-ur ipod screen should turn white
-this is very important ^^^
-now hold down the shift key on ur keyboard and left click restore
-(shift+left click restore)
-navigate ur way to the firmware called JB
-and click it then click ok
-ur ipod should begin to install the jailbroken firmware with no problem.
really hope this helps!
