Gaming ChromiumOS USB has been released

[Supersonicmonk]

ok just a few brief questions:
I have a 4gb usb drive and the OS only requires 2gb, is there anyway to use the remaining 2gb left after the OS is installed by making a partition or something?
Are the skins, extensions etc kept on the hard drive or on the web?
how do I change the default username and password?
Where the hell is the power button? I can't seem to find it anywhere?

1. No, once installed, unless reformatted, you can only use that USB key for Flow. If you partition it and it works do correct me, but I tried to on mine and it wouldn't load after I tried.
2. The skins and so on are synced via the web through your email, they do not take up space on your flash drive.
3. Make a gmail account and login on that.
4. There is no power button yet, you have to hit the power button on the computer to make it turn off.
Well there is something like it, if you hit CTRL + ALT + T, you open up Terminal and type in "shutdown" or "sudo shutdown"

I can't log in!

I enter my Gmail, then my gmail password, clears both slots.

Help?

Plug your ethernet cable in, after i did that and logged in wi-fi worked.

Thanks a lot, I don't really need that extra memory it's just it was driving me crazy because there were three partitions one with 250mb, one with 1500mb and the unallocated one I assumed was the OS but windows only saw the first partition; the 250mb one so I really wanted to get that extra space. I already have a Gmail account so is it as simple as that or do I have to register it or something like that?

this is pretty old news, nothing new about it.
I tried it for a while, decided that I'd give it a miss (maybe it could replace JoliCloud as my instant-on OS...)

How long does it take for jolicloud to boot up?

No registering, just as easy putting your gmail account in and your password and your off to go. Warning in advance it does have problems with wireless computers and or laptops, right now it can't really detect wifi, so you need to use the Ethernet cord for this.

If your using a wireless computer or laptop, put it into the Ethernet and it should work just fine

its based off ubuntu, so probably. You might as well try the liveCD/USB version, or the "Express Install" which is just Wubi (Installed within the Windows Kernel, easily removable.)
