installing/updating amsn

Hi
I don't know if anyone can help me. I was happily running the current aMSN on my AA1 and then there was an update. To cut a long story short, the autopackage install did not work and I ended up only being able to have the very old version which comes packaged with the AA1 which won't even log in now. It was suggested that I download the RPM file which I did and then I got the following error message.
Unable to resolve dependencies for some packages selected for installation. The details were as follows:
Missing Dependency: libsoup-2.4.so.1 is needed by package amsn
Missing Dependency: tcl-snack is needed by package amsn
Missing Dependency: libgupnp-igd-1.0.so.2 is needed by package amsn
Missing Dependency: amsn = 0.96-7.fc7 is needed by package amsn-plugins
Missing Dependency: libgio-2.0.so.0 is needed by package amsn
Missing Dependency: libgupnp-1.0.so.3 is needed by package amsn
Missing Dependency: libgssdp-1.0.so.2 is needed by package amsn
Missing Dependency: tcl(abi) = 8.5 is needed by package amsn
Missing Dependency: libv4l2.so.0 is needed by package amsn
Missing Dependency: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.11) is needed by package amsn
Missing Dependency: libgstfarsight-0.10.so.0 is needed by package amsn

It was then suggested that I do the following but was warned it may mess up the whole AA1 because it would be basically installing Fedora.
1- Open your terminal by Pressing Alt+F2 ,will show the Run program window. Check Run in terminal and click Run, which opens a terminal
2- type to add some reositories of fedora 8-9
sudo rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fed ... noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/ ... noarch.rpm


3 - type the command :

sudo yum install fedora-release
4- now install amsn :

sudo yum install amsn

I don't really understand any of this. I don't understand the difference between Fedora and Linpus etc. I am nervous to try this as I currently have a working AA1 without aMSN and I don't want to end up with no netbook at all.

Sorry I know this is lengthy, but does anyone have any suggestions or can clarify whether this will work or not?

Many thanks
