| ☐ | UNetBootIn? (major?) |
| reynhout: UNetBootIn might not be the right tool to recommend. I don't know much about it, but it appears to mess with the image before creating the USB drive. That concerns me.
Reply didfem: I have used UNetbootin for years in Windows and Linux and I have never observed a problem that I could trace back to this application. I suggested it because it is available in all three major OS's. However, if you know of another application as simple to use as UNetbootin, we could swap the info. In the wiki, I avoided the "dd" method because users may not have Linux and/or maybe uncomfortable with using a script that requires figuring out what the drives are called and other things. I would really like to keep it basic. reynhout: Fair point. I really dislike that it changes the boot menu, though. What does "Default" do? | |
| ☑️ | GigaBytes (minor, but important) |
| reynhout: SSD capacities are in Gigabytes (always capital "GB"). Gigabits are "Gb", and are frequently used to measure network throughput rates, but not disks.
Reply didfem: "Gb" replaced by "GB". | |
| ☑️ | Hardware Compatibility table (minor) |
| reynhout: The Hardware Compatibility table lists all known ChromeOS devices, so you need to check the "Supports GalliumOS?" column to determine compatibility.
Reply didfem: Line added to emphasize the need to check that the Chromebook is supported. |
