Google Chrome OSHave you heard about a new Operating system? No, i mean haven’t you heard of an operating system from Google named Chromium OS. Oh! So you have heard but not tried it due to many reasons. Don’t worry, after reading this article, you will be in a position to install the same!

So, there’s all new Operating system called Chromium OS which comes from Google’s family. Though this operating system is Linux based which is an open source.

Let’s check out the Ingredients first : Google Chromium OS iso file and Virtual Box software suite.

First, all you need to is to download two foremost things, one is Google Chromium operating system iso file and other is Virtual Box. You need to download Google Chromium OS iso file from here and download Virtual box from here.

Step 2: Now, it’s time to set the size of the base RAM, though my recommendation to you is to set 512 MB, but also consider that in future you can increase the memory later on if you feel.

Select RAM

Step 3: After setting up the RAM size, you need to create a new virtual hard disk, please note that while creating the boot hard disk please “Check” “Primary Master” option.

Step 4: Now, after RAM size, all you need to do is to pick up the storage which you wanted to use. It’s recommended to have one dedicated drive with dynamically expandable storage.

HARD DISK SELECTION

Step 5: Now, select your virtual hard disk space. Its recommended to use at least a minimum of 2GB but you can also set according to your needs. Now, click on next and proceed by starting Google Chromium OS.

Step 6: After pressing the “Start” button, a new pop up will be popping up “First Run Wizard” which will appear to help you manage the media to use. Now, you will need to select and add the downloaded Chromium OS ISO image.

Step 7: Now, the installation of Chromium OS will start immediately after having selected the installation media from either pen drive or a DVD/CD.

    Hay Man!
    You say “Google Chromium OS”… But the site pointing to download says :
    “Chrome OS is not related to Google. Service provided by SUSE Studio.”
    Also, Google yet to announce the launch of “Chrome OS”. So I think you should not mention OS from Google..

    OR am I wrong????

    I’d like to install it in my PC directly. But before downloading i want to know which filesystem it uses. Does it uses linux type ext3 filesystem with a separate swap partition? or a FAT/HPFS/NTFS filesystem. Will it run in intel D/C 1.6Ghz and 2GB memory?

    instead of installing Google Chromium OS on Windows, can’t we just run our PC with Google Chromium OS?
