Daryna (4) installed fine, but no sound or wifi.
Downloaded Alyssa (5), but install stalls.
Is there a way I can upgrade from that iso ? (ie: without web acces).

I' ve read this tread:
http://www.linuxmint.com/forum/viewtopi ... s+AR5006EG
But I cant use apt get to try it, since the wifi only works with Linpus (fedora 7) and use RPM.
Any other way around it ?

Hi eztuxer!
You will not be able to install Elyssa Main, because it's based on Ubuntu 8.04, and it won't boot. But you can install one of the CE Editions (I've tested KDE CE and XFCE CE and both work, XFCE is especially fast), they're based on Ubuntu 8.04.1, which is able to boot without problems.
Once you have installed Elyssa, you can use this
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne to make everything work.
Enjoy your AAO!

Ola ! Catalunya !
Tnx for advice, I'm downloading Mint XFCE 5 CE and will install it on a 4 GB partition on my 8 GB usb stick, I can't wait to have a dependable working OS for this nice AAO, (Limpus is not quite up to the hardware perfs of this Netbook), see:

Installed Mint 5 XFCE Community Edition.
It looks good, and is pretty fast, but screen resolution is only 800x600 or 640x480, no 1024x600 option in the XFCE menu. Mint 4 was OK on this issue...
The solutions to fix wifi and sound exposed here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne use apt get, and I
only have wifi web access
no lan, only wlan...

After deeper investigation, it appears that 1024x600 mode is working after all, but is display as default mode, without pixel map size.

Although the size of the displayed image fits the screen it actually looks like 800x600 (with the pixels stretched horizontally).
Now the good news: Sound is working straight out of the box.
