First of all, thanks for this step by step blog.

At the same time, I need some help:
—————————————————

1. I executed all the steps, created USB drive, but when I reboot, I got into Chrome OS, but on the right side menu, it says that “Wifi” DISABLED ..

I have a Wireless LAN port which connects to a Wireless router, and works hassle-free when Windows come up.

2. Then, I tried connecting my system with Ethernet, but that also, it keeps saying that Connecting (on the right top drop down menu), but eventually never connects.

Any help on why Ethernet is behaving erratically. Mine N/w card if from NVIDIA. Is it among the not-supported ones.

Any help on 1 and/or 2 will be appreciated

@l104693:
ad 1) It is possible to install it on your PCs hard drive, Google included a shell script to do that. But I don’t recommend it either. It runs from USB as well.
ad 2) You can find a tutorial on how to run it in Suns free software VirtualBox at http://chromeos-blog.com/tutorial-chrome-os-virtualbox/ .
ad 3) For me too.

Great!
It’s a good tutorial BUT
I don’t suggest to install it on your pc, less hardware works with it.
I suggest to run it in VMware or something.
I am doing that and it works great!

Good luck with this blog!
