I already have my Chromebox up and running with OpenELEC 6.0.0 (not exactly sure on the version but I know it's 6.x) running Kodi 15.2. I don't want to harm that install and was wanting to play with Kodi 17 on this same hardware and this got me to looking into booting OpenELEC/Kodi 17 from a USB thumb drive to test things out. To piggy back off the existing talk about trying out Kodi 17 on a Chromebox, do I have this right:

1) Download the OpenELEC disc image from: http://openelec.tv/get-openelec

2) Burn the disc image with Imagewriter to USB thumb drive

3) To get Kodi 17 on there, grab a .tar nightly build from Milhouses: http://milhouse.openelec.tv/builds/master/Generic/ (create an 'Update' folder on the newly created OpenELEC USB drive and place the .tar file in there)

4) Boot the Chromebox and press ESC to select the USB drive and after it boots from there, it will automagically apply the v17 nightly of Kodi and away I go? (I'm worried about this because not sure there will be enough space on the thumb drive to unpack/apply the Kodi 17 update. When I last played with that Imagewriter program, I seem to remember it writing the OpenELEC image to my 32 gig thumb drive and then I only saw a few hundred megs free when I looked at it in Windows.)

Just wanted to get all my ducks in a row so when I get some tonight, I can give it a go.

Thanks
