    I have got a 'no name' bluetooth dongle (one of the very small ones) together with a CD with, I presume, some stuff I need to install. I have an external cd drive for my AA1 so I can see what's on the disc.

    That's about as far as I can get - can anyone give me some step by step advice - I very new to Linux!!

    Please help me out as I'm really enjoying this little machine and want to understand Linux - I'm not giving up and resorting to Mr Gates - he's had enough of my money over the years!

    Bluetooth is supported in the linux kernel source.
    But... the Acer/Linpus people have choosen to leave it out of the configuration when compiling the kernel and the loadable modules on the One.
    On this forum, under netwoking is another subforum called bluetooth, you might find a solution there.
