Also, as a brief update; I found out a couple more helpful things for the CR-48. It has a physical switch that you can toggle into "developer mode". W00t!
Yes, it is possible to get into a shell! The folks over at Chromeoslounge.com have a thread going that dropped a hint.
Terminal:
Ctrl+Alt+T
Then, you can toggle between Chrome and the terminal via
Alt+1|2
Terminal first brings you up in this "crosh" shell. You can run
shell
to get more functionality. Running a simple sudo su
will let you gain root!Also, looks like it's possible to get Ubuntu installed as well, but I'll hold off for now as I promised to test out Chrome Os.
So as long as I've got my shell I'm happy. I can even work, with the exception of email (though, I can just do webmail).
I know I promised pictures, but I would like to try and figure out how to upload files directly from the sdcard on this machine. --Mounting my NAS would even be better. Yes, I can mount the sdcard, but no, I can not see it even if I symlink it to the Downloads directory.
Still testing... but happier than before!
Quick Notes:
Keyboard shortcuts
ctrl+alt+/
Terminal
ctrl+alt+t
Toggle between Chrome and Shell(s)
alt+[1...n]
/*works as a stack and your latest shell will be alt+2; your oldest shell will be alt+n*/
