Followed the instructions to the letter, but my Acer Aspire One found an “invalid operating system” on the USB. Ah well!

me again…was able to burn image to usb stick and was able to boot from it pretty easily. I followed the same steps as heulenwolf (see below). I do love the quickness of the OS. It would be, and I hope to be able to, actually install it on my HD.

Couldn't even burn the image. Got the following error: “An error occurred while trying to get a handle on the file. Error 8:” Will try again but this time burning to a DVD.

Does anyone know how to install drivers to support other wireless card, I have a dell latitude 2100, and i saw a video earlier of someone booting up w/ chrome on it, but they never mentioned the Wifi compatability. If anyone knows i would be much appreciated.

Yep – worked perfectly on my Samsung NC10 as described. Wifi and Ethernet connected straight away.

Now I can choose whether to boot to windows or plug in the USB and run web only Chrome OS.

what's the offline user password?
I heard something about
chronos/chronos
and
marks/chromeos
but none of them seems to work…

The Dell's servers are too slow, I downloaded the image file and added it here http://www.memac.com/chromeos/ along with its installation instructions
