You can add desired packets to RDEPEND of virtual/chromiumos-bsp.
Example: edit src/third_party/chromiumos-overlay/virtual/chromeos-bsp/chromeos-bsp-1.ebuild:

RDEPEND="app-misc/mc"
and then re-emerge virtual/chromeos-bsp package for your board

`emerge-YOUR-BOARD virtual/chromeos-bsp`

then re-build image

Also it's a good idea to build `test` image type for your needs, it includes most tools you need, like ssh and lspci.


PS: language for this list is english

Thank you for the explanation.
Do I understand correctly? to me to see additional tools to KromiumOS, I need to re-collect the distribution from source?
P.S. sorry my english. I use google translator

yes, you will have to compile the packages yourself if you are building Chromium OS. if you have an official device and are running Chrome OS, you should look into the Crouton project.

Things like Google Music Manager on Linux support:


Installation directions
Please select your download package:

On Chromebooks, you can install Crouton and then install Ubuntu (both running side by side, easily switch from one to the other)... So using Ubuntu on your Chromebook, you can install .deb files. Boom. Done.

TODO this, you need to enable Dev Mode on your Chromebook, then install Crouton, which installs Ubuntu.

Have fun!!!
