Linux ChromeBox Kodi E-Z Setup Script (LibreELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2017/02/21]
Hi Matt

I plan to customize my Asus Chromebox M075U for running XBMC and have gone through this entire thread and I feel that the safest option is the standalone OE/XBMC option. However there are still a lot of things that still need clarity for a noob like me:

1. After putting the Chromebox in developer mode, and disabling the firmware write protect and getting to command prompt for the first time, how will I login to anything? I believe the command prompt is just a blinking dash to write commands on?
2. After logging in with chronos and no password, you say "Download and run the setup script with the commands:" this means there are two commands on 2 separate lines - do I have to run the commands one after the other? how can you write 2 commands on a command prompt?
3. Once the script runs, and I am greeted with the opening menu - I believe I will have to choose option '5' - which will update the firmware - is this correct?
4. Will running option 5 also update the BIOS? I am not sure about the difference in Legacy BIOS and SeaBIOS - but I believe BIOS is part of firmware and will be updated when I will replace the stock firmware with your Coreboot firmware - is this correct?
5. After completing the above step - I believe I will no longer be able to run ChromeOS - then how will I be able to run your script again for choosing option 6 - "Create OpenELEC USB/SD Installer (standalone)"?
6. Will option 6 in your script also install the latest version of XBMC?
7. Option 6 says "Create OpenELEC USB/SD Installer (standalone)" - does that mean a SD installer can also be created by inserting a new SSD in the additional SSD slot? I am asking this because I have read on this thread how unreliable USBs can be? What do you say?

Will much appreciate your help.

Thanks
techno
