ChromeOS: Create a USB-Key Puppy

[mikeslr]

I stumbled upon this post which explains how to burn the ISO of a different Linux using ChromeOS's Chromebook Recovery Utility: https://chromeready.com/3742/burn-iso-u ... hromebook/. Basically it say to rename the ISO to bin, e.g. fossapup64-9.5.iso to fossapup64-9.5.bin. Then run the Recovery Utility and select that 'bin' file where the Utility offers to "Use Local Image".

I don't have a Chromebook to try this on. And I suspect that the resulting Puppy will not be able to write SaveFiles/Folders on the USB-Key. But, if it boots at all, you should be able to use that Puppy, it's builtin gparted, and frugalpup, viewtopic.php?p=1588#p1588 to produce a fully functioning USB-Puppy for PCs. Will it run on a Chromebook? Haven't the foggiest.

I run fatdog and fossadog and fossapup on mz Acer 714 chromebook... onlz touchscreen isnt working, but it is recognised ... it seems not to get current at boot. I got sound partially working (speakers only).

I used the script provided bt at mrchromebox.

But I am curious to try this method!

LOL, I have to watch both the keyboard AND the screen when I'm typing.

Be sure and let us know if the method works, would be great if it does.
