old... I got the iso ages ago. looks cool though. how can you do file management? and what happens if you right click an image? I dont see why anyone would use this. I can only imagine it being used on a netbook. what are the minimum requirments? if it isn't 128 mb or less I dont see why someone wouldnt rather put ubuntu netbook on their netbook or just ubuntu for that matter.

I don't see how that's possible when they released the source only a couple of days ago. You probably got something else.

Also, joseph, what you got was Chrome OS. It was an unofficial build.

should you use a empty usb?

nvm. I don't know how to use .torrent files. Yeah, i know as much that you need to use something like utorrent, that's about it.

  1. Download and install µTorrent.
  2. Download .torrent file and open it.
  3. Profit!

I wouldn't say it's absolutely necessary to use an empty drive, but I definitely recommend it unless you want to f*ck up the files on it.

also yeah, install µtorrent, open .torrent file in µtorrent, ???, profit!

Of course the only usb that I want to install onto is not large enough for the windisk. I'll try again with my 4gb later on :|

I love how Google is building a bandwidth intensive OS when bandwidth providers are rolling out technology to limit customers bandwidth use. In the end, the bandwidth providers will win. They need to really re-think Chrome OS sooner than later.
