he meens an acer asipire one netbook, the small 8.9" screen version.
yes xp goes on very well and runs great.
you can install from a usb pen very easily, just need a 1 gig usb pen and a copy of xp on cd rom.
or a usb cd drive also works.

guide, errrr fairly straightforward, little bit of ms-dos involved, people might struggle if there not familiar with it, still i would say its relatively easy.
