Could you try installing from a live usb? It worked like a charm for me, and I'm sure it will also work for you This link really really helped me. http://jorge.ulver.no/2008/11/10/fedora-10-on-the-acer-aspire-one/ It has instructions to install F10 from a usb stick into an Acer One. If you follow this guys instructions it will work for your 701 as well. It's not necessary to perform the installation with LVM though, you can skip that and install it on an old fashion ext2 partition (Careful, the installer installs as ext3 anyway, so you have to do as stated on this blog to turn it back to ext2, no big deal).
