Linux ChromeBox Kodi E-Z Setup Script (LibreELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2017/02/21]
hi, sorry to interrupt, but I install linux mint 13 mate lts on my chromebox. I don't know if I did something wrong during the tutorial.

For a standalone setup, you will need to perform the following steps:

Put the ChromeBox in developer mode
Open the ChromeBox and remove the write-protect screw
Download/run the EZ setup script
Select Standalone setup option, which will backup your stock firmware/BIOS and flash a custom one
Create install media for desired OS. Script includes option to create OpenELEC install media

Power off ChromeBox-------------- I think I forgot to do this at this point it ask me to backup the firmware in usb. Then it
said to to press enter to return to menu. Then after that I input 5 to install and download coreboot firmware.

Connect/plug-in USB install media
Power on ChromeBox, Press [ESC] from boot menu, select USB device --------Since I did not power it off I did with just reboot.
Install OpenELEC (or your OS of choice)

I am really a noob at this I guess I made these mistakes because I nervous plus my brother was distracting me and I forgot.
Nerveless, the installation when through but both cpu's are really high. When run xbmc the two cpus are at 97% without running
any videos or add on, just navigating through it, the mouse is really slow and even runing youtube cpus are at 67% idle sometimes goes
to 100% cpus. When I install xbmc I fallow the instructions:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties pkg-config
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update---------------at this step it gave me an error and it did not update.
sudo apt-get install xbmc

At this point I am stuck I don't know what to do? Since I erase chrome os how do I start over? maybe I suspect that I don't have
the latest kernel version on. But I don't know how to check it or update it. I was using the chromebox for a while and then it turn off by itself.
