How could a flag be set on Chrome OS, in dev mode? This page does not specify it: http://www.chromium.org/for-testers/command-line-flags

Hey Mike,

From what I can see, it looks like being in Dev Mode is not enough to update /etc/chrome_dev.conf since the CrOS file system is read-only.

how to modify the rootfs is left as an exercise for the reader (and is covered elsewhere in the wiki). it's also not necessary as you can bind mount arbitrary paths, not just dirs.

cp /etc/chrome_dev.conf /usr/local/

mount --bind /usr/local/chrome_dev.conf /etc/chrome_dev.conf

vim /etc/chrome_dev.conf
