How to install

• To use the vmdk file, open VMware and create a new Linux-based virtual machine. One of the options will be to use an "existing virtual disk." (In VMware Fusion, this is the last option below, "use operating system disk" and "use OS disc image file.")
  
  
• Delete the existing hard drive after creating the new virtual machine and replace it with the downloaded Virtual Hard Drive
  
  
• Make sure your VM is set to use bridged networking, rather than NAT.
  
  
• The username and password to login to Chrome OS/Chromium OS is your google account!
  
  
• Alternatively, use VirtualBox instead. This is a free cross-platform (Windows/Mac/Linux) virtual machine created by Sun Microsystem.
