The only thing I'm questioning is how you install addons or skins from a zip file. Do you download them on a pc and transfer them over to the Chromebox on a USB flash drive?
You could do it that way, or, you could open Windows explorer, & type in the IP address of your chromebox ( example: \\192.168.1.100 ) and you'll see some shared folders. I drop the zip files into the shared download folder. Then when you want to add from a zip file, navigate to the internal folder...I think it's thru the "home folder". Either way works.
Additionally, if you want to do an update you drop the .tar file into the shared "update" folder & reboot your box....easy.
