2. At the shell, run the following (where sdX is your USB stick and ChromeOS.img is the path to the IMG file you extracted): dd if=ChromeOS.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M
3. Boot from the newly created Chromium OS USB stick!
If you're on Ubuntu (or Lubuntu) you could also use Imagewriter (tool to writer .img files to usb keys) which you can find in the Ubuntu (or Lubuntu) software centers.

Are these your builds? The link for the download instructions doesn't
work. I need extra packages not included in Chromium like for example
cpio, dig, nslookup, and so on.
Hi Mike, I just found out about Chrome OS Today, and i want to know if i can use it on my Desktop Pc, but since you said its only for official google chrome os devices, i got a bit confused with the whole thing. Tell me what is the different's between Google Chrome OS and Chromium OS? Because i see that the Chromium OS is available to purchase here: http://linuxos.co.za/index.php?route=product/product&path=28_57&produ... in South Africa. So i just got a bit confused now when i saw the WikiPedia article and this group....
Cr OS Linux is just a linux-distribution revolving around Google's Chrome
browser. It is not a Google product. What you are looking for is Chrome OS
and its open-source counterpart Chromium OS.
Chrome OS cannot be downloaded, it is specifically made for Google
certified Chromebooks and Chromeboxes. You can, however, download Chromium
OS. You can download daily builds from hexxeh (http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/)
or from arnoldthebat (http://arnoldthebat.co.uk/wordpress/chromium-os/).
You can write the downloaded image to a USB-stick very easily (instructions
are on the given websites. It depends a bit on your hardware configuration
whether Chromium OS works, but on my Compaq nc6320 it works almost
flawlessly (only some minor trackpad issues). In fact, I am writing this to
you from Chromium OS.

Chromium OS is open source, and it is not really set up to be sold. Most
people that provide pre-built images do not charge for them, and work hard
to make their images work on as many systems possible. You could distribute
custom builds that are designed to work with specific hardware, but you
would need to build them yourself (e.g. special/custom drivers etc).

I have a Compaq nc6220 I've been thinking of using for this exact reason. Any details I should pay attention to for that device? I know your model is so close that I would appreciate if you had any hints.
Thanks!

The conventional wisdom on all of this just changed end of last week. Google/Chromium.org does now make binary builds available.
Here's the announcement from Mike Frysinger:
moving forward, the tip of tree (ToT) build artifacts from the public manifest will be marked with public read ACLs. we most likely won't retroactively do this (simply because we're lazy), but who wants old software anyways.
these are baby steps for us, and we hope it'll foster more community involvement. rather than random people on the net producing & hosting their own builds of ChromiumOS, you can grab the amd64-generic or x86-generic builds that we're already building & hosting. so if you have fixes/improvements for the generic builds, then by getting them merged into the main tree, everyone easily benefits.
this doesn't mean open season on getting anything & everything you might want in ChromiumOS merged of course. new packages and features still go through the same review/approval process.
(it might ask you to log in ... not sure why, but any random Google account should work)
then you'll be presented with all the artifacts that the builder produced. most people will probably be interested in the chromiumos_base_image.tar.xz or recovery_image.tar.xz as those contain the base/recovery images respectively.
note that not every builder produces a "full" set of images. some (like the incremental builders) only produce test images. not a bug ! -mike

You can download daily builds from hexxeh (http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/) or from arnoldthebat (http://arnoldthebat.co.uk/wordpress/chromium-os/). You can write the downloaded image to a USB-stick very easily (instructions are on the given websites. It depends a bit on your hardware configuration whether Chromium OS works, but on my Compaq nc6320 it works almost flawlessly (only some minor trackpad issues). In fact, I am writing this to you from Chromium OS.
Hi Mike, Hope you can help. I have downloaded the correct file - chromium_base_image but when I burn it to a dvd it simply states a 0.img file that I cant install from. What am I doing wrong ? I use Imgburn to burn the DVD. Your help is much appreciated. I am working on a Win 7 machine to create the bootable DVD, Thanks Steve
