The only other part that confuses me is the os verification is off screen - press space bar to re-enable.
From the guide I understood that if I press space there I will have to completely wipe chrome os and do the setup entirely over again? That's seems super risky... Did I misunderstand that? I have everything set but I'm slightly worried.
If you hit [space] on the developer mode boot screen, it switches back to verified boot mode - so you can't use the legacy boot function to boot OpenELEC or Ubuntu. It shouldn't actually erase anything from the dual boot portion, it will just erase your ChromeOS user data. If you switch back to developer mode, everything should be how it was, but no guarantees. Don't hit [space] and you'll be fine.
Quote:Also, I thought I read it was possible to actually run Kodi within Chrome OS itself? But now I can't find anything how to.
it's possible, but it's not viable. You'd need to install Ubuntu (eg) and then Kodi in a chroot which would still be using all of the ChromeOS kernel/drivers etc. Pretty sure you don't get video acceleration (at least running it in a window).
