I added the repositories for ubuntu per the instructions, but I am
having problems.

W: Failed to fetch http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/dists/stable/Release
Unable to find expected entry non-free/binary-lpia/Packages in Meta-
index file (malformed Release file?)

Is the repository available?

There is no 'lpia' branch in the Google repository. You might be able
to do something like:

sudo apt-get -o APT::Architecture='i386' update
sudo apt-get -o APT::Architecture='i386' install
<google_package_you_want>

though that might make a mess of your repository cache. At the very
least, you should probably run a normal 'sudo apt-get update' after
this to set things back the way they were (which will, unfortunately,
bring back that error message as well).

I tried this with the HPmini MIE, however there are a bunch of
dependencies that are not met in the current restricted version of
Ubuntu 8.04
