Great guide, thanks! Is it also applicable to the Samsung Chromebook?
Offline
Thanks! It should partially work on the Samsung ARM Chromebook as well -- Crouton automatically detects the architecture and downloads the correct OS. The one issue is that you can't use the CB-netinstall script, you'd have to read though the #! Repos and download all of the packages from the Debian ARM repos. If you'd like help with that, let me know here or in a PM, I'd be happy to help!
Best of luck!

Thank you so much for this,
<solved>I keep hitting a wall when it gets to the waldorf netinstall script, mainly accepting the licence agreement of the intel pro wireless, I cannot click <Ok>. 'enter' does nothing. I'll keep at it.
< never mind> right arrow selects, follow prompts.
second, is there some trick to pasteing in the shell?

No problem! Pasting in the Chromebook's own shell is possible by tapping two fingers. Let me know if that doesn't work, or if I can help in any other way
Cheers!

to paste in terminal shell it is 'shift-ctrl-v' <-paste as plaintext
the double click only brings up web commands ie. reload, back.... inspect element. weird.
Thanks for your help Brandon_mn this is something I wanted to do with my chromebook since I bought it.
now to make a background with launch instructions

Ah, sorry about that -- I have an add-on, Crosh Window, that adds some weird shortcuts (like the double tapping), and I assumed they were universal. That's what I get for assuming
And no problem! Glad I could help. If you do make a background with launch instructions, let me know and/or post it here, that'd be awesome to see!
Cheers!

Hi, I have a cr48 that I wish to use it, but I don't think it can as in step 3 you said it might break the wifi. Is there any way to put it on Cr48?
p.s. I just tried it but I can't even complete step two, I enter the command and it said "can not open ~/Download/crouton" do I need to unzip?

is there a way around leaving #! to change network settings, or grab things from usb drives? Not a super big problem, but can be annoying.

Yes, it works. I use my ChromeBook in CrunchBang daily. Some things may be more inconvenient, but most functions are there.

brandon_mn:
I just installed chromebang on my acer c7, but i have a few problems:
1. the nm-applet disappeared and I cant view the wireless connections in my area, how do i get it to work?
2. When I try to poweroff or reboot - it say standby and does nothing. When i run
sudo shutdown -h now
or
sudo shutdown -r now
i get the following:
(wheezy)av8n@localhost:~$ sudo shutdown -h now
[sudo] password for av8n:
shutdown: /run/initctl: No such file or directory
init: /run/initctl: No such file or directory
(wheezy)av8n@localhost:~$ sudo shutdown -r now
shutdown: /run/initctl: No such file or directory
init: /run/initctl: No such file or directory
(wheezy)av8n@localhost:~$
How do i get it to reboot or poweroff?

Brandon_mn:
Thanks for your help.
Instead of clicking logout, you can enter the following to get to chroot
gdm-control --shutdown && openbox --exit
Type exit to exit chroot.
Then you can type:
sudo shutdown -h now
or
sudo shutdown -r now
to exit or reboot respectively.
Is it possible to use the F8, F9, and F10 to control volume on the acer c7? What key would you use to take a screenshot on the acer c7? There is no Prtsc.
