So, it seems my last answer was not correct, so i'll try doing better.

msn messenger is a program from Micro$oft, and can not run on a Linux platform.

But you can find a lot of software doing the same job for Linux : amsn, pidgin (i thought pidgin was installed on linpus lite), emesene and a lot.

It's not a bug with the AA1 that stops you logging in, MSN changed their login protocol at the time of the AA1 release. 

This is fixed in an update. Run live-update in the settings section of your computer. (click settings on Linpus Lite's Homepage)

For very useful tips on configuring Linpus Lite on the Acer Aspire One, visit https://jorge.fbarr.net/2008/08/06/acer-aspire-one-tips-and-tricks/

In short, you already have a chat client which will support MSN chatting,, it just needs an update and she'll be right as rain.

Take it easy

for all those that appear to be still having difficulty the settings is the little cog on the main page, you want to run live update and the problem with msn messenger will be resolved as soon as the updates have been downloaded. You may need to reboot or reload the application for it to be fully effective however

dicko · Answer

so to settings using the cog bottom right.  then click on live updates, that'll download loads of apps then you should be able to get on the MSN site, close down first then tuen on again after you've done the updates.  MSN works then perfectly

ok

good luck

i dont think you can download it anyway what are you on are you on an acer aspire one because you cant download things on them unless it has windows xp or vista or something like that.
