use all these 3 ports simultaneously to install Linux Operating Systems (Linux OS Ubuntu 18.10 or Linux OS KNOPPIX 8.2) on the 15.6 inches Chrome OS Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid
Installation of Linux Operating Systems in the PC/Laptop environment can be done in so many ways . One way how we can install Linux Operating System on the 15.6 inches Chrome OS Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid is to do a fresh install of Linux Operating System on the 15.6 inches Chrome OS Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid . Steps that we are going to take on how to do a fresh install of Linux Operating System (we take Linux OS Ubuntu 18.10 as an example) on a 15.6 inches Chrome OS Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid are :
1. we have to ensure that the 15.6 inches Chrome OS Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid have a
UEFI/BIOS (software/firmware) on the System Board .
2. we have to ensure that we have 3 units of full-size USB 2.0 or 3 units of full-size USB 3.0 on the 15.6 inches Chrome OS Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid .
Since we are doing a fresh install of Linux Operating System Ubuntu 18.10 on the 15.6 inches Chrome OS Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid then 2 units of full-size USB 2.0 or 2 units of full-size USB 3.0 should be sufficient .
The first unit of full-size USB port (USB 2.0 or USB 3.0) is connected to an external DVD-RW drive so that we can insert the Linux OS Ubuntu 18.10 Live DVD to begin the software installation . The second unit of full-size USB port (USB 2.0 or USB 3.0) is connected to and external hard disk drive or
flash drive where the Linux OS Ubuntu 18.10 will reside .
Another way involve hard disk drive cloning and we need to utilize 3 units of full-size USB port (USB 2.0 or USB 3.0) simultaneously . If we have a external hard disk or a spare external hard disk that is already installed with
Linux OS Ubuntu 18.10 and we have another external hard disk and we want to install it on the 15.6 inches Chrome OS Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid , then 1 unit of full-size USB port is connected to an external DVD-RW drive (to insert a a bootable Live CD like Clonezilla for cloning purposes) and the other 2 units of full-size USB port is connected to the SOURCE hard disk drive and the TARGET hard disk drive .
Note that for both method we use external hard disk drives and we use Linux Operating System Ubuntu 18.10 as the Operating System of choice . Installation of other Operating System
(Linux OS Ubuntu 18.10 or Linux OS KNOPPIX 8.2) on the external hard disk drive which is then connected to the full-size USB port (USB 2.0 or USB 3.0) of the 15.6 inches Chrome OS Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid , does not override the existing Chrome OS , which is residing , which is powering the
15.6 inches Chrome OS Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid .
With the presence of UEFI/BIOS on the System Board of the 15.6 inches Chrome OS Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid , we can select to boot from the external hard disk drive or flash drive which has been installed with Linux Operating System Ubuntu 18.10 . To the best of my knowledge , only Linux Operating System Ubuntu 18.10 and Linux Operating System KNOPPIX 8.2 and other Linux variants can be booted from an external hard disk drive or flash drive with the help of UEFI/BIOS .
Once again , installation of other Operating System like Linux OS Ubuntu 18.10 or Linux OS KNOPPIX 8.2 on the external hard disk drive which is connected to the USB port of the 15.6 inches Chrome OS Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid does not override the existing Chrome OS which is residing inside the 15.6 inches Chrome OS Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid . The only snag when installing Linux OS Ubuntu 18.10 is , the 15.6 inches Chrome OS Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid cannot make telephone calls and receive telephone calls , cannot send and receive sms , cannot WhatsApp , cannot WeChat , cannot Snapchat , cannot Instagram , etc., etc. After the Linux OS Ubuntu 18.10 installation is complete and after we have finished doing what we want to do with the Linux OS Ubuntu 18.10 , just shutdown the Linux OS Ubuntu 18.10 . Disconnect the external hard disk drive (which is installed with Linux OS Ubuntu 18.10) from the 15.6 inches Chrome OS Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid , reboot/restart the
15.6 inches Chrome OS Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid , then we can use the 15.6 inches Chrome OS Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid just like an ordinary Android Smartphone , just like an ordinary Windows Smartphone . Now , we can make phone calls , we can receive phone calls , we can send sms , we can WhatsApp , we can WeChat , we can Snapchat , we can Instagram , we can watch YouTube/Videos/Movies , we can connect to printers , we can connect to image scanners , and a long list of everything the PC/Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone can do ……..…….. we can also do with our 15.6 inches Chrome OS Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone hybrid .
