Hello David,

Here are the steps I used to get F18 working on chromebook

The first few steps are done on my desktop, where the sdcard is "/dev/sdc".
Your miles may vary....

These are snippets of a shell script so some of these steps might look
gnarly, my apologies.

# now put the chrome book in dev mode and run the script.
