    5 Stars! Had a little trouble running the brunch files but eventually got them to work. I put this on 3 old inspiron 11 laptops and it improved the speed extremely well. Would recommend you do this to any old computer that you don't use. Perfect for kids who need a computer for school work and just simple web usage like UA-cam. For the price of a 32G flash drive, you can turn any old computer into a perfectly suitable chromebook.

They will run into trouble due to the line endings anyway when they try to edit the file with Notepad, or even more trouble after having tried Word instead...

      ​@@benhetland576 For everyone that keep saying you can just edit your install script, that's the catch with this being a live cd is that the drive is mounted as read only. Unless a persistant store was created as part of the live cd OR chromeOS was actually copied into the live cd system image, otherwise you really can't just "edit" it. The alternative is to just copy the contents into the live cd home directory (if your drive is large enough) and then modify it there. If your drive isn't large enough, copy just the install.sh, and change the directory to ChromeOS-install.sh and rammus_recovery.bin to absolute paths instead of relative.

    UPDATE 2:26am - That worked perfectly! I now have Chrome OS on my Surface Pro 2 and so far everything is working without any problems.
    UPDATE Next day: Everything is working really well....except sleep. The display will turn off, but only for a minute or two and then it comes back on. When I specifically put it to sleep, it won't come out of sleep. I have to reboot unfortunately. I'm going to try on a desktop and see if that persists.

I couldn't get Mint 19 liveUSB to to boot, but I was able to get the ElementaryOS 5.1.7 distro to liveUSB boot. Once I got that (and after changing the install.sh script to account for the correct drive), Chrome OS installed pretty smoothly. So far, most all the hardware is working on Chrome OS, although not the webcam. I used Brunch r86 k4.19 stable 20201014 and Rammus 86. Thanks!

    I came across your video and I never thought I needed this in my life! Had an old Acer laptop with an atom processor lying about, which had about 500-600MB of free space after win 10 update. The install was a breeze. Glad I went with samus instead of rammus recovery file. I almost went with rammus. Got a bit nervous when I removed the USB drive and the screen froze after the installation. Restarted and ChromeOS booted normally. Had another minor scare when the screen said "Loading bunch framework" and below that "ChromeOS rootfs is being rebuilt due to an update or a change in options. Please be patient as it can take a few minutes" waited a while and finally got myself a Chromebook! Sorry for the long comment though. Went through the other tutorials, but yours is just perfect. I'm now subscribed!
    PS: I have 32 gigs of total storage on my laptop. As per the settings ChromeOS uses about 14.4GB which left me with 17.6GB.

    - USB-Docking hub (USB LAN, USB Mouse working, HDMI display out)
    - volume buttons
    - Power button. Single press to sleep, press and hold for power menu options
    - Touchscreen
    What's not working

      "rammus" is the recommended image for devices with 4th generation Intel CPU and newer.
      "samus" is the recommended image for devices with 3rd generation Intel CPU and older.
      "grunt" would be the image to use if you have an AMD CPU but the chances that it will work are low.
