It must have been the combination of filetype set in fdisk, the formatted 
filesystem and how it was mounted when the files were copied - it worked in 
the end, and Familiar and GPE are now installed. The unstable v0.8.3 is a bit 
buggy, but that's to be expected as 4700 support is described as "work in 
progress".

I never managed to get the USB cradle to connect except in maintenance mode, 
but can ssh and connect it to the net using Bluetooth via the laptop; still 
working on connecting via a cellphone.

Excellent toy, just needs a USB host adapter...
