 # Test GalliumOS. Explore until you’re sure everything works fine. If you decide to install GalliumOS (and why wouldn’t you?), don’t install it while you’re live booted. For some reason that didn’t work for me, and I had to do it over again. Instead, reboot and follow the above steps until you get to the live boot or install GalliumOS menu. Choose Install GalliumOS. There’ll be a few prompts during the installation process.
-## Disclaimer:  From here on out once you install Gallium you will need to hit those keys after each reboot unless you are willing to open the Pixel and remove a Write Protect screw to allow you to disable that screen. Be aware you DON'T NEED TO DO THIS with that screw unless you don't want to hit those keys, the Pixel 2015 doesn't have the out of power glitch the original Pixel had and with the Developer Screen there it provides a very nice fail safe in case you severely screw up your install and want to move back to ChromeOS again.

 There won't be any confirmation message, if you get an error message you will want to confirm you are in the correct directory. After that we will do the touchpad tweaks. First we need to enable an Atmel script first, after that we will be setting up up a service to run the script. This is because since Linux 4.3 the Atmel chip needs to be reset on boot to guarantee that the touchpad works. First you will enter:
-     cd linux-samus/scripts/setup/touchpad
+     cd ..
      ./enable-atmel.sh
 After that you will want to run the systemd script:
      ./setup.systemd.sh
 At this point you should have a fully functioning trackpad and be able to avoid random unresponsive moments. Now we will setup the Brightness Keys. If you don't want to change the keys default behavior as F-Keys then don't bother with this step.
-     cd scripts/setup/brightness
+     cd ..
      ./brightness --help
 This enables F6 and F7 to change screen brightness

 ==== Setting up Sound  ====
 Setting up sound can POSSIBLY be done via the sound script Raphael made but I rarely have luck with it. I still recommend doing it just to see if it works and to do some of the work for you, but its probably going to take doing each step separately. To run the script:
-     cd linux-samus/scripts/setup/sound
+     cd ..
      ./sound.sh
 At this point you can try the speakers by clicking the PulseAudio tray icon and setting up the following:
