Hi,
Canada Computers has "HP Chromebook 11 G3" on sale for $199. So, I bought one.
The keyboard is better than other chromebooks or laptops at this price
range.
I have done the following successfully:
- enabled Developer mode
- installed Crouton script and "Crouton Integration" extension for
Chrome browser.
- installed Ubuntu (trusty, 14.04.xx, XFCE)
So, I have ChromeOS and Xubuntu running at the same time.
Now, booting from USB/SD is what I really want. This way, I can keep
the Chromebook "clean" by having all Linux stuffs on USB stick. But,
for the life of me, I can't get it to boot from USB stick.
I did
- crossystem dev_boot_usb=1 dev_boot_legacy=1
What else do I have to do?
Has anyone here successfully booted from USB on Chromebook? Help...
