I want to buy an old mother to replace it with an old computer, for use with an external monitor

For $ 200, you can’t buy it if you don’t go to the USA. On ebay from $ 300 and already better to buy here for the same $ 300, but without risk.

We recently bought this miracle :), in general, you can like everything, you can also use Chrome, if the laptop is an addition to the main PC. Ubuntu already put it on him, everything worked well :), but the touchpad sometimes started to get bogged down, it was terribly annoying, rearranged firewood, packages, did a lot of things, did not win the problem, but I couldn’t get Ubuntu :). I had to go back to Chrome.
3. When installing ubuntu, a section in 10Gb is used, from there ~ ~ half of the chromos are wrung out. Why so, broom 320, you can select a section of arbitrary size ?????

Ubuntu section, you can choose any.
There is also a desire to install Windows, but so far I have not found the information, nor have I found a modified BIOS for it.
I hope that this is all a matter of time.

Unsubscribe when you make a Windows on it.

Can someone tell me.

mele A1000 + acer c7 chromebook
On the mele costs android 4 (I can if I need to put Ubuntu). Both devices are connected to the same wi-fi grid.
How can I watch movies that are on mele A1000 (or another android device) through acer browser?
That is, I need to enter the ip address of mele, select a movie from the list and launch it in the browser.

Windu on it as far as I know so far, you can not put it. Do not mislead people.

Maybe all the same, someone will write down the Russian manual for installing Win7?



Rep: (3)
Seven is now running on a virtual machine and is being loaded via a vnc server, they haven’t been fully installed yet, but any Linux with an alternative bios can be installed.
Who cares how to change the BIOS here is the linkhttp://www.dennert.me/turning-your-acer-c7...fledged-laptop/
The latest firmware (101013) in the comments herehttp://johnlewis.ie/pre-built-coreboot-fir...or-chromebooks/

UPD: Everything that you do - you do at your own peril and risk. And do not forget to close the safety jumper on the mat before backup and firmware. board

Greetings to all! I need help on the topic, since I myself am just learning (not yet a wizard :))

There is Acer C7 Chromebook on Chrome OS.

It is required to make a backup copy of the BIOS on the USB flash drive.

I enter sudo flashrom -r bios.bin
As a result, we obtain the bios.bin file in the user's directory. There is no access through the graphic interface.
I inserted a flash drive, and then I do not know what to do. What you need to enter to copy this file to a USB flash drive?

Thanks to all.

tshukhrat

To be honest, too lazy to write instructions. As for backup, either before the command (sudo flashrom -r bios.bin), go to the downloads folder (cd / home / chronos / user / Downloads), or after backup, copy the file to downloads (cp bios.bin / home / chronos / user / Downloads) and after we already copy to the USB flash drive. Can you bythis vidosmake firmware.

Yesterday I patched the version of coreboot-parrot-seabios-windows-27102013, the seven is normally installed on it, only acpi is left unfinished, so most devices do not work, including the keyboard and touchpad
