Google Chrome OS: Install Chrome OS for Linux

There has been a lot of reports about Google Chrome OS which Google officially announced they have been working on. Since that time I have been very keen to get my hands on the product and give it a good test.

I came across a very interesting article today about installing Google Chrome OS for Linux machines.

First things first you will need to download Google Chrome OS Beta and Virtual Box.

Once you have downloaded the .ISO file and unzipped it you can create your virtual disk.

Step 1 – Name the Virtual Machine and set OS and type to other

Step 2 – Set the base memory size(RAM) I used 1000MB NOTE: Go easy on this at first you can always bump it up later if need be

Step 3 – Create a new hard disk and boot hard drive

Step 4 -Pick the type of storage you would like I did dynamically expanding storage.

Step 5 – Now set your hard drive space. I could spare 2 GB so that’s what I used.

Step 6 -Go ahead and Run your new Virtual Machine

Step 7 -Begin installing your Chrome ISO

Step 8 -Select your ISO image and blast off!

Step 9 -Select to install Chrome OS then sit back and watch it install.

Step 10 -Enjoy, test and play with Google Chrome OS.
