Google Chrome was announced yesterday. As a geek, the first thing I naturally wanted to do was install it. Since I don’t have an extra machine lying around, the easiest way to do so is to run it virtually on my existing machine. So I decided to make a quick screen cast on how to install Google Chrome OS in VirtualBox. (Credit for the idea goes to UbuntuForums) It’s actually quite easy, even if you’re computer illiterate. To get started, just watch the video below:
Things Needed:
- Download & Install VirtualBox (Free)
- Download & Unzip the Chrome OS image (via GDGT.com)
Update: Looks like GDGT posted a image for VirtualBox as well. However it doesn’t seem to work. Just stick to the VMWare .vmdk file for use with VirtualBox as I did. Otherwise it just loads a black screen.
That’s pretty much it. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask below!
whatever said by kneshoba will work …. see if u want to log in with ur own gmail id and password u need to connect to internet with out using a proxy and the network connection b/w u and virtual box should be bridged .
Ok it does work in virtualbox 3.0 BUT you have to have in the settings, system option and in the processor tab the extented features: Enable PAE/nx and in the network select the PCnet-FAST III and that should work.
if you don’t want to stay with pre-built version of chrome os, you can always build your own from the latest source:
