[How-To] Chrome OS
« on: Monday, January 17, 2011, 17:32:43 PM »
This post will show you how to run Google Chrome OS.

First, you need the IMG so go get it from:
http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/

You will get a .tar.gz so use a program like 7Zip to decompress it (there's another archive inside). It will decompress to about 1.6GB or so.

Follow the instructions here to flash the image to a 2GB or larger USB drive:
http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/wiki/doku.php?id=windows_instructions

Reboot from that flash drive.

You'll need to login once you see the start screen. This is usually your Google account but if you have passworded WiFi, you will need to set that up before you can login so in that case the default username and password is facepunch

Here's a video I uploaded booting Windows 7 and ChromeOS on my laptop:

I really love the way that it looks, it's unfortunate that pretty much everything you do must be done through the Internet. If they released that Chome (or something similar) as just a browser, I'd be all over it.

Since I use Chrome on my desktop and laptop, I have my bookmarks and whatnots sync'd to my Google account. This means when I boot up into Chrome OS, it's there too. I probably won't use it a whole lot except for when I wanna look up something on the net REALLY quick. I think that's about all it's good for. Fast way to boot with minimal hardware requirements. It's definitely worth installing on a spare 2GB flash drive. You'll be getting 20-30mb/s speeds for loading so keep that in mind.

I'll probably make a video of me booting it on my laptop sometime.

It's really useful for internetting on-the-go. I've just gotta get myself a flashdrive for this now. All my others are functioning as backups hah :D

Yea, this is also good for using someone else's computer without leaving a trace or anything.

It's for geeks, as is Chrome. It fits.
