Where can I find a Google Chrome OS ISO image?

Question

Where can I get a Google Chrome OS .ISO file? I know I could install ubuntu and build from source but I don't want to do that. Are there any ISO's available?

Solution 1

Hexxeh’s Chromium builds are supposedly pretty popular (and I’ve liked the ones I’ve tried). They host torrent to ISOs, as well as IMG files and VirtualBox-ready archives.

Solution 2

Here is a link to a virtualbox image of Chrome OS. I don't believe there is an installer for real hardware yet.

You can run Chrome from a USB flash drive. It's not technically an ISO, but it's pretty close.

I have started a bounty to this question because I really need an iso to use on my old computer that can't boot from USB.

I know you want Google Chrome, but in reference to your previous comment, you might try Ubuntu or Damn Small Linux (just to get your machine up and running).

this is more appropriate to post as a comment, since it doesn't really answer the question. once you get to 50 rep you'll see the gray "add comment" links below other posts.

I think it's pretty close to an answer. Moreover, answering questions is the best way to build up rep anyway.

There's perhaps not a real "installer", but Chromium can certainly be run on real hardware (via USB or LiveCD).
