Installing Google Chrome OS
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.
Simple and to the point hope this is helpful!

GOOGLE CHROME: THE MINIATURE MOBILE OS PUT INSIDE OUR LAPTOPs?
You want facts? "what if your browser was your operating system. new OS no kernel, no all.... BIOS was redesigned?"
It's like they made a mobile OS and applied in a computer
See the Chrome's detailed review: Will Chrome succeed?
Sounds promising, but only for my netbook.. there's no way in hell I will use this for my desktop (just in case BIG G decided to used this on PC in the future)
Its not THE google chrome OS of google..
This was just a suse custom distro created using Suse studio susestudio.com any donkey in da house make his own disro using suse studio.
good

It always ask for password after install
After install Chrome OS, it always ask for password when you try change any setting.
Does body know how to deal with it?
Thats Ubuntu
Nonsense. This is just booting up Ubuntu(made to look like Google) using vmware. The original host machine is a mac. Get a life guys before coming up with such posts.
Fake. Again.
You guys should read before posting things like this on the blog..
It clearly says on the bottom of the download page:
"Chrome OS is not related to Google. Service provided by SUSE Studio. See the license."

tacky?!!!
google are gonna work real hard on the interface, like they do, to make it simple, useable . etc. etc. i rekon it'll be more like ubuntu's netbook remix than anything else we've seen recently.

Is this really chrome OS from
Is this really chrome OS from google people...? I see SUSE-STUDIO water mark in step 9 image
Gracias
muii buen aporte, y muchas gracias por la info :)
Yeah right!!!
That's OpenSUSE/GNOME, I kinda doubt that "re-inventing the Operating System" is as simple as shipping GNOME on OpenSUSE and tweaking the background image a bit.
fake
this is a version of linux someone made to look like what they thought google chrome os would be. it is not google's operating system.
chrome OS partition
hey, nice guide.
i like the idea about virtual box, but i'm wondering if it's possible to get this working on a small partition and have it dual boot with linux or another OS.
i know it's still in development, but i'd rather run it from its own space. call me difficult ... :)
thanks for the help.
cheers

fake Chrome OS
It's on googlepages, that doesn't make it legit. It's a f***ing Opensuse respin, for f***'s sakes!
Stop this scam
This is not google os. Just badly skinned open suse.
It does not install Google Chrome OS
It only instals YaST open SUSE and let's you play with the linux version of Google Chrome NAVIGATOR. At least that was what I could manage to do with that file. Am I missing something??
Fake!
What's your damage?
You could've at least removed the suse logo from the screenshot.
Not to mention having ads on the download page.
Dweeb!
fake
sorry, but that's a fake "chrome os"
This is not real!
It's a fake. The file they link to is not even hosted by google.
fake fake and fake
FAKE ..............
Nice tutorial ... but it's not chrome OS
That's a fake chrome OS ... it's simply something someone with some time did using openSUSE. Anyway, nice tutorial
Fake
From the Website: "Chrome OS is not related to Google. Service provided by SUSE Studio." In other words: this is just a self made Linux distro with installed Chrome Browser.

Hi there!
Google Chrome OS has not been released yet. Not even the beta you are describing. What you installed is a fake version. It's a simple distribution created with SUSE studio. Read the full story at http://chromeos-blog.com .
