Download chrome iso

I tried 'installing it' twice now, testing also on an Acer Aspire One with the same result. Hi, thanks for the guide! I tried to boot my usbdevice on my Asus Eee PC but It gets stuck showing 'chromium os' on a blue background, no login fields. Is it a hardware problem perhaps? Any idea of how to get past it? I have one hell of a question for the guy who put up the torrent.

How do you compress an image file of roughly 3 GB into a zipped file of roughly MB. Are the setup files that highly compressible types or is it some secret compression technique that you used for it.

Good article and worth comments. For some people it could be annoying, techies like me. I was expecting more than just a browsers with Chrome OS.

Abhishek you are quite fast in the web. Any way you've chosen a best place to publish your site url. Its needs a media player, music and video is a huge part of waht alot of people do with their computers, laptops etc. I used the Vmware Image, now the OS boots, and logins, but No internet access, how to configure that, I can use a direct ip of a proxy, but dont know where to put in the configurations :.

Xander installer was fine on w7 for me, think it might need to be readable by windows though, try formating the flash drive as fat32 first. Tried compatibility modes vista,xp and as Admin Thanks for posting this! After I entered the key for my wireless router, it's connected smoothly to the internet every time. One question: how can we trust that when we type our Google credentials into an image that you made that you're not sniffing them and sending them to Russian spam bots?

SL Trust is always something given, it cannot be demanded or proven. I have successfully compiled the ChromeOS and then converted the image to vdi and used it in my VirtualBox.

So, it works like a live CD. And no installation is needed - It just comes up. And there is nothing other than the browser! So, I don't know why it should occupy so much space, just to bring up the browser. If ChromeOS is having nothing other than the browser, then we can have the same browser on any other OS. What is there other than browser in Chrome OS!?

I don't see any development tools such as a terminal, compiler, etc. In that case, how to use this OS for development? I just tried it and was somewhat unimpressed. I don't see the utility of this project when there are plenty of full-blown Linux OS's that can run off of a flash drive, unless they are trying to compete with Splashtop-like features on laptops where you don't have to boot into the real os but still do basic web surfing.

If you can only use it when you are connected to the internet, what's the point, if they cannot expand it beyond a simple cloud OS then I don't see this being a very successful venture. However, Google may give the open source community valuable publicity and help the average user see Linux in a more favorable light. What would be really cool is if they could make this distro bootable to small devices like phones and tablets like the nokia n and provide a full featured web experience without high resource usage.

I take it all back; I am using ChromiumOS on my wife's Asus eee hd and it is awesome, I can actually stand to use the thing; it does all you really need from a netbook.

But after i formatted,it shows only mb! Chrome OS eat my space.. Any how to recover..? Installed per directions worked fine on my new ha but the wireless doesn't work, so there is basically nothing I can do with it.

Installed onto an 8gb SDHC card. I ran the chromeos-installer but it doesn't boot of the SSD once I'm done. Am I missing a step setting a partition active or something? Yesterday it worked fine alebit slow and a bit clunky, due to it running off a stick , but today it refuses to work properly at all. First attempt would only load the calculator gadget in full screen and wouldn't allow me access to the browser - every other attempt and it can't seem to get my resolution right, like it's running in 'Safe Mode' or with the wrong drivers.

My major gripe with it is probably the panel system - I never much like the blocking of pop-ups in Chrome and this seems to be an extension of that. As a developer, the little screen space you get would be very restricting, however I can understand that this is supposed to be point.

Similarly, are all smaller apps going to run in panels? Should they be kept open down the bottom all the time? Won't that get busy? Why aren't there shortcuts on the main screen? Are we going to get shortcut keys? When I Click write after I choose the img and the usb drive letter I get the error 8 and doesn't proceed further.

Please help!! It's not help. Also I tried 0. I used chrome os in the virtual box The notepad,Contacts and To-do lists are working perfectly I'm stuck on the login screen Any clues on how to deal with this? Thanks for the great tutorial and image file. I've loaded Chrome onto an 8gb thumb drive, and it runs pretty well, but Chrome would have fit on a 4 gb drive and now my 8gb shows up as 'needs to be formatted' in windows explorer.

Is there any way to use one drive as bootable chrome and flash storage? Otherwise it's bye bye to Chrome for me. Chrome currently runs too quietly on my speakers and the headphone jack just turns of the speakers but doesn't play anything in the headphones. Is there volume control in Chrome? Do these exist anywhere? I entered mine and it's been fine since - eee Just what I was looking for. Wasn't sure if this would work well on the This is just what I wanted to hear.

Works like a charm! Ran it from an sd card on an eee pc t91mt; wifi worked as well as, interestingly, the battery monitor , but the OS was very slow. Ethernet works fine, but anyone an idea to make the wifi works?

Lauwie: Wifi is working on my Eee A so it may be your wireless router that's incompatible. Try a different wireless network if possible. What do you mean? I just can't get my wifi on I can't see any wireless network.. And my network is oke with ubuntu I have the RT or something like that Anyone an idea? Sorry, what I said earlier does not make sense.

Chrome apparently supports the radio in the A but not I thought they may be the same radio, and since it works with A, thought the problem might be with your router. At least you can give thanks that the ethernet works so you can take Chrome for a test drive.

In fact, it may not work for you at all. I got my Compaq F to work. WiFi seems to work fine. I needed to enter my network pass key and then I had internet. Running off a SanDisk Cruzer 4GB which is a little slow, but visiting all my web sites was easy and works fine. I was surprised to find when rebooting to Chrome all my passwords were saved and my history was retained. Thanks guys.

Using Vista bit system. Should I try on my XP? I installed VirtualBox and downloaded the Vbox image below and it came right up with no issues. Thanks Jorge! Thanks for the great write-up and tutorial. Downloading the USB image now. Thanks in advance. I download the file, wrote it to the USB drive as a bootable device, but now when I try to boot, I get a 'no operating system found' error. I checked and rewrote the img file to the USB using the instructions from above.

Trying it out on my Asus EEE and I find it actually makes browsing a better experience for me when compared to firefox under eeeXubuntu. Everything just loads quicker even though far from perfect. Two questions: 1. Will this work if I put it on an SD card an 2. Joseph, were you able to get WiFi working on your ? It seems as though the wifi card may not be supported. How secure and safe would it be? You can read the issues I had with it here. Quick breakdown of the facts: no luck with wireless either Dell adapter, so it would have been futile to try it on my D since it has the same one , 'jumpy' usage, a couple of bugs and the CPU meter reports bollocks.

I don't see it as the future of OS. As a OS-on-a-stick, yes, but as the primary OS, without internet access, your machine is just a nice furniture piece or decorative item, depending if you have a desktop or a laptop. Luck was not on my side. I definitely look forward to a build that will run on my Samsung N, but for now, that is one Netbook for which this does not work. Was so excited when the login screen popped up Too cool! I'm wondering though, do you know how I should go by keeping this OS up to date with future builds?

Or is the automatic update already implemented? On my MSI Wind there was no working trackpad or wifi. The flash drive blinks a bit on a regular basis, but that's all. Should it work on the above machine? Pity the ION system doesn't work. Might be something to do with the ASRock's special boot system..

Great post. Btw it's pretty slow, I tried it with an eeepc and verbatim 4gb thumbdrive. When the format was complete, I was left with a MB flash drive. Does anyone know how to fix this? Go do disk management in windows.. Should be in 'right click' on my computer and select manage..

Thanks for your help, but I already fixed it using this tool: pendriveapps. I understand the market for this OS, and also understand that this is an early build that contains quite of extraneous code that will not be in the final build. But there is something I just can't wrap my head around. I mean you can get an XP install down under 1GB quite easily.

On top of that, a large part of ChromeOS is supposed to be stored in the cloud right? So why is it so large? Alternately I found using the VMware image last week that just logging in to Chromium OS with my Google name and password automatically logged me into Gmail and iGoogle. Can it be viewed in full screen?

I have a resolution of x Would it configure accordingly? The process takes a few minutes to complete. You have done most of the preparation by now. Your Chromium is downloaded and extracted, and the USB is formatted, so you are ready to continue. Download Etcher using the link provided above. Here is what you have to do from there:.

The creation process takes a few minutes to complete. You are now ready to install Chromium on your PC. You can set up your Chrome OS with a Google account and use it only for surfing the internet.
