Do you _really_ need this much hand holding? Google is your friend and
if you go to http://wiki.debian.org -> Hardware -> Acer -> AspireOne
you eventually get to the above link - as I posted below.
Please do some basic research or follow reasonably explicit instructions
given in good faith - otherwise you will annoy people, be ignored and get
less help as a direct result.
All the best,
