chromeos proxmox vms dev

Notes

I recently wanted to experiment with ChromeOS Flex but didn’t want to install it on a physical machine. I also was doing this without a USB key, which complicated things slightly. After some trial and error, there are two non-obvious steps to get the installer running: Properly mounting the .bin live USB image in a way that’s accessible to the VM Setting graphics drivers to something ChromeOS Flex supports, which enables the VM to successfully boot the live USB image

Notes

When you create a virtual hard disk in VirtualBox or VMware, you specify a maximum disk size. If you want more space on your virtual machine’s hard disk later, you’ll have to enlarge the virtual hard disk and partition.

"I just downloaded and installed Ubuntu Server 9.04 in a VM Image strictly for the purposes of setting up a simple local dev environment on my MacBook. This is the base image, which I want to configure with some useful but general capabilities."
