Thank you for all the replies.
I was able to boot Haiku from a USB stick, but everytime I tried to
format the blank partition that I had prepared for Haiku, it would failr
and I would get an error; I suspect this may have been because of the
hidden partition that the aspire one has (used to reinstall win xp).
So I changed course of action as follows:
I installed eeeBuntu wiping the whole HDD and repartitioning it with
partitions for both eeebuntu and Haiku (adios XP!).
I then followed instructions on...
http://haiku-os.org/documents/dev/building_haiku_on_ubuntu_linux_step_by_step
...to build Haiku and then...
http://www.haiku-os.org/documents/dev/installing_haiku_to_a_partition_from_linux
...to install it on one of the partitions.
Haiku is now happily running on my netbook, and I doule boot to eeeBuntu
to recompile it when I need to. :)
Cheers,
Jorge
PS: in case anyone is interested, eeeBuntu fully worked out of the box
on the acer aspire one, including wifi.
