Dell Employee Releases Custom Chrome OS for Mini 10v Netbook

If you've got a Dell Mini 10v netbook and are looking for something geeky to do this weekend, this article may pique your interest. Dell developer Doug Anson tinkered with the ChromiumOS open source code and got it to work with the Mini 10v. If you try it out, let us know what you think.


I have released an USB key image file to: Index of /files/cto. The file name is: "ChromiumOS_Mini10v_Nov25.img." It contains a functioning image of my USB key loaded with ChromiumOS. In addition, I have made a best effort attempt to get the Broadcom Wi-Fi adapter working in this image. It's definitely not perfect (read: highly experimental, untested, unstable, yada yada...) but it does appear to function.
