I decided to convert my Asus CN60 from ChromeOS to standalone linux and followed the steps like above.
I am stuck at step: plug-in usb install media.
When I insert the usb (with linux mint) I don't get a boot menu, it goes directly into Shell.
I tried two different usb sticks, both resulted in the same way.
What am I doing wrong? BTW, I tested the usb stick on my dell laptop and it booted into the live cd.
Appreciate your help,
Adam
it doesn't auto boot USB anymore, you need to select from the boot menu. Either press ESC when the boot splash shows (which it may not on some displays) or just type 'exit' and press enter from the shell (a note which I'll be adding to the next version)
Dear Matt,
It worked!
I want to share with you how excited I am about converting my chromebox to linux. It has so many positive qualities to name a few:
- It's good for the environment - let electronic waste
- It's saves you money
- It empowers you. I can open the computer, replace ram/ssd, change firmware, etc...
- I get better privacy - no more sending google everything I do
- Freedom to install any software I want
