Okay so I really like the Android -x86, but was wondering if one can do this chrome OS.  It seems to want to clobber the whole drive and not install onto just 1 partition.

thoughts?


thanks

Looking at the install.sh script referenced in those instructions, which is at
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shrikant2002/ChromeOS/master/install.sh it
ends with "-dst /dev/sda".

I would *expect* that changing this to "-dev /dev/sda1" or similar would
install into that partition instead of onto the entire drive, however I have
not looked at the "chromeos-install.sh" script to see exactly what it does
based on the "-dst" option.

I would probably be good to take a look at that script to see how it uses the
value of the "-dst" option before just assuming that my guess is correct, and
no matter what, I would still follow the guidance inthose installation
instructions to *take a backup of your machine* before you start.

Regards,


Antony.

ChromeOS processed brunch can be loaded even from the img file lying in the folder on the C drive with NTFS. To do this, I use a combination of refind + grub, and it is also necessary to disable hibernation in win10.
