I am getting a C1000 soon and I was wondering whether Pocketworkstation will work on it - do I just have to follow the instructions as per www.pocketworkstation.org - I plan to have OZ 3.5.3 as the base ROM. Any incompatibilities generally noticed?
many thanks

Yep, certainly possible, and actually pretty cool. I'm running it on my C1000 and it works just great.
The big key is to use the modified fbvnc that properly sets up the keys. You'll need to give it a "-hw c3000" argument.
I installed the base tar.gz on a 512mb sd card. The most "difficult" part was just waiting for it to untar... I used the Z to do it instead of sticking the SD card into a reader and letting my main linux box do the work. It took a while, but it finished and I was up and running with icewm. I installed dillo, as well, with an apt-get and it's working fine.
I think what I might do is get another SD card (maybe 1gb) and do another pocketworkstation install on it... then I can just pop it in and out when I want to run X, and use my existing 512mb for OZ files. I also want to try Qt/X which (I think) would negate the need for fbvnc. There's a thread about that around here, as well.
I'm also running OZ 3.5.3 as the base rom... there have been a couple key patches to it since the 3.5.3 beta was released for the C[13]k -- if you have the openembedded environment going, then you'll do fine if you just create your own image. The biggest part is the kernel patch for the keyboard mapping... without it your Fn key doesn't work.
