Dell Provides Google Chromium OS Image & Installation Instructions for Mini 10v

If you own a Dell Mini 10v netbook, an 8GB (or larger) USB flash drive, and an urge to try out the Google Chromium operating system (or bootable browser as I call it), check out this Dell blog item…

Chrome OS Wi-Fi Support Running on a Mini 10v… Source Code Available

Dell has a pre-built installable binary image file for you to download. So, there’s not much hocus pocus involved in testing this out. Here’s what you need:

- Dell Mini 10v Netbook
- 8GB or larger USB flash drive
- USB bootable img file downloadable from http://linux.dell.com/files/cto
- Linux or Mac – for access to the UNIX dd command to write the img file out to a USB flash drive. There is probably a Windows utility that can do the job for you there too

Dell notes that this Chromium OS for the Mini 10v is an unsupported release. So, don’t expect any help other than what you see in their reasonably detailed blog entry.
