dlezcano: hello
<notmad>
Wizzup: helllo
<notmad>
Wizzup: i see
<notmad>
Wizzup: what is the format required for usb booting?
<notmad>
i have XE500C12 chromebook
<notmad>
can you send me to an article telling me how can I format the USB to insert ubuntu or debian?
<notmad>
?!
<notmad>
that would be grand.
<notmad>
i'm still hosed here.
<Wizzup>
notmad: you're in for a tough ride if you think it's going to be that easy
<notmad>
hm
<notmad>
what do you mean?
<Wizzup>
Even though we should provide a bit more binaries (for u-boot, kernel, and perhaps even some partitioning)
<Wizzup>
There is no such thing as 'boot ubuntu or debian'
<notmad>
oh
<notmad>
so what would i need to do?
<Wizzup>
you need to partition the machine, compile the bootloader, install it properly, compile a kernel, install it, run debootstrap (or whichever you like)
<Wizzup>
Most of the things are not exynos specific
<notmad>
oh i see
<Wizzup>
I
<Wizzup>
I'll be back later.
<Wizzup>
The wiki does cover quite some of this IIRC
<notmad>
why so hard? is it because of my specific model? it seems easier on other models.
<Wizzup>
intel models are easier usually
<Wizzup>
ARM ones not so much.
<Wizzup>
Perhaps someone else can give you some advice.
<notmad>
i see
<notmad>
so any suggestions on what I should read?
<Wizzup>
Not right now, I have to go.
<notmad>
ok thx
<notmad>
will stick around
<notmad>
i really need to setup this laptop for my sister.
<notmad>
can't let her use chrome OS.
<Wizzup>
You can use crouton on chromeos if that is good enough fro you.
<notmad>
kind of lame, isn't it?
<notmad>
it's just a chroot.
<notmad>
so the performance will be shit as well
<notmad>
let me know what i need to read next time you are around, please.
<notmad>
thanks!
<Wizzup>
your performance argument makes no sense :)
<notmad>
hm
<notmad>
i thought the way crouton works
<notmad>
is that it loads chromeos
<notmad>
and then inside the chromeos it chroots into an ubuntu root
<notmad>
so you run both chromeos and ubuntu at the same time basically
<notmad>
Wizzup: do you think crouton is a legit way to go?
<notmad>
i did not want to end up with an insecure or slow OS, just because I was lazy to install linux the right way.
<notmad>
or is crouton also the right way?
<Wizzup>
You seem to be in a rush and I can tell you you won't manage to install 'proper' Linux on it soon
<Wizzup>
And if you manage, you may have something where audio doesn't work, etc, etc.
<Wizzup>
Crouton is mostly just linux, it's not really slower, and it works within half an hour.
<Wizzup>
Seems perfect for what you want, for now
<notmad>
i seee
<notmad>
that makes sense
<notmad>
and crouton is supported by my device right?
<notmad>
i guess, since chromeos is used as the first layer, it should work fine.

<steev>
well.... actually
<steev>
i have a script that builds a kali environment, it could easily be modified to do debian instead
<steev>
requires an amd64 box and a few things to be installed though
