 Thanks!   Hi Matt, I've tried every method to make a bootable Ubuntu USB but the Chromebox won't recognize and boot to it?  I've tried several different drives (USB flash stick drives and even a HDD drive).  They work on my Alienware laptop, but won't boot from the Chromebox?  I followed this tutorial:

https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tu...-windows#0

Tried both Rufu and Pen installer and Etcher. 

use Rufus, but write in dd mode when prompted to choose between dd and ISO mode.  I'd recommend using the GalliumOS Haswell Chromebox ISO

I looked near the end of this post as well:

But I didn't see anything about how to boot a live Linux USB?

that info is outdated / superseded by that in the wiki; I don't have a standalone firmware update script for OE/LE anymore
