Hi. I've successfully installed HP MIE on my Acer Aspire One 110. Hope can be of some help here. If you have done a little "googling", you'll see that the HP MIE is really just a modified UBUNTU Hardy Heron (8.04.1). It's easier if you do your research in this direction, rather than te HP MIE, because it's so new, there isn't as much info as the Ubuntu. You'll be overwhelmed by the number of Ubuntu community forums. I figure the audio & wifi are of utmost importance, so here they are:
1. I'm connected to the internet by the wireless router I set up at home now. So wifi is working. However, the wifi LED light, which blinks or light up according to wifi traffic, is dead, so as the on-screen notification when turning on/off. To figure out if your wifi is switched on, you just have to try.Sorry I can't recall the exact procedures, since it involved LOTS of trial, a number of times of rebooting (because the network icon at the bottom right notification area DISAPPEARS when I click on the desired wireless network! NO KIDDING. So when you succeed, DO NOT CLICK ON IT. Or you might have to reboot again. However, it did required some of the following steps: Setting(Top right of Home Screen)-->System-->Network A window comes out, double-click on 'Wireless Connection"-->check the "Enable automatic (something)" box. Home Screen-->Bottom right Notification area-->Click on the "Network" icon (2 monitors stuck together)-->"Connect to other wireless network" Hereon is really typical wifi configuration.
(Next is to get the sound working. You'll need to be online for it. Because it requires some downloading) ######## it requires some "sudo" tweaks onto your system. Please do not blame me for any errors caused. This caution is communicated, responsibility waived. I just want your AAO to work like mine does. :) 2.OK, NO SOUND!!! In order to make your AAO play music & video, it requires some knowledge in command lines. Don't worry, I'm just a newbie in Linux, I can do it, so do you.) Go to the following website in your Internet browser: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne#Install%20Ubuntu%20Hardy%20Heron%20(8.04.1)%20on%20the%20Acer%20Aspire%20One Follow the instructions as listed under Step 2 (a long way down, find AUDIO) do as it says.) If you do not know where to copy&paste those command lines, simply press Alt+F2 to open a dialog. Here, you should check the 'Run in terminal' box. Minutes after that, there will come a point where you should type "y" when a Yes/No question is prompted in the terminal window. Remember to press "Enter" afterwards. Some more minutes after that, "Done!" appears at the bottom of the terminal window, no more dancing text. Somehow my AAO works even after restarting, without doing the "/etc/modules" part. If you want to, just type in"etc/modules" in the Command Dialog (Alt+F2), do NOT check "Run in terminal", then click RUN. Copy&paste the line at the bottom of the window. Save before closing. Now, try restarting your AAO. Your machine should work. I'm not 100% sure, because I have VLC player installed before all these, although I really think the VLC does not matter here. Beware of the Sound configuration which is quite confusing. You can see Sound in "Settings", also you can go to another Sound config window by clicking the speaker icon in the notification area. Just keep trying. P.S. the hotkeys on the keyboard works, with on-screen notification.
SORRY FOR THE POOR ENGLISH, AND THE LENGTH OF MY COMMENT. HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL. GOT THESE BY 28 HOURS OF GOOGLING. :)
