Google's two heavyweight operating systems: Android and ChromiumOS. Android does not have to say that ChromiumOS is currently used primarily for Chromebook devices. The entire system is basically a Chrome browser that installs a variety of chrome extensions and apps on the Chrome App store. Although Chromebook equipment is very cheap, but there is no egg use, because there is no sales at home Ah! My personal view is because of the domestic environment, Chromebook if the use of Google services, is basically paralyzed. In this case, even if the Chromebook is very cheap, bought is not much use value, the business will not enter the mainland market.

Although there is no sales in the country, but also can be sea-Amoy or something. But people like me who are so frugal, of course, can't be so impulsive. So decided to burn chromiumos to the U disk first experience the system, and then decided not to start a Chromebook.

However, the official Google did not provide the way to burn chromiumos to a U disk, fortunately ChromiumOS is open source, the network of Daniel is also a lot. So someone will chromiumos transplant, made an IMG system image, can directly burn to the USB stick to experience the system.

Before making the ChromiumOS USB drive boot disk, you need to do the following:
1. ChromiumOS The system image, you can download it here. Download to a 7z compressed package, after decompression is the ChromiumOS img system image.
2. Win32diskmanger, the software used to burn the ChromiumOS system image to a USB stick on the window platform, can be downloaded here.
3. U disk one, the capacity of at least 8G, because the ChromiumOS system image has 7 g ...

The way to make a USB boot disk is simple, open win32diskmanager, theimage file option to select the ChromiumOS img system image files path,Device option Select the drive letter on your computer. Then click on the Write button, there will be confirmed whether to burn to the flash drive information bullet box, focus on checking the next letter is not your U disk. Confirm the error after continuing to execute, and so on after the burn is complete. Such as:

Restart the computer system, different motherboards need to be on the boot when the different keys to enter the boot menu, according to the actual situation into the boot menu, choose to boot from the USB stick, and then into the ChromiumOS system. After entering the system there will be some steps to set up the system initialization such as network proxy, there should be a system ... But no ... What's the matter? Because the hands are too fast, the next step is not careful. In addition ChromiumOS under inconvenient. Finally, you need to sign in with your Google Account or anonymous account. Have the road to set up their own network proxy wall login Google account, there is no only anonymous account login. Then you will find that in addition to using the browser to look at the web, nothing can do, because the connection is not on Google's services, even on the Google Chrome store online installation of the app is no way, only through the offline package installation, a little trouble ... The idea of buying Chromebook has now been abandoned.

Have fun with your little friends. Oh yes, ChromiumOS is based on Linux development, after burning to the U disk, the U disk will be cut into 5678 Linux ext type partition, so your USB stick will not be used on the window. To recover a USB flash drive you need to use disk utility to erase all partitions on the USB drive to reformat, so ... Life is a toss, wish to play Happy:)
