Stayed up late last night, read through MrChromebox's pages, grabbed a small thumbdrive and went to work.
.
It was totally a breeze! I owe MrChromebox a coffee... at least! :)
.
Still have at least one issue to work out, but otherwise it booted up, ran upgrades, and allowed me to do some surfing this morning without problems.
.
Watching YT vids last night as I was checking the system out, I'd get a low-volume, high-pitched tone when a video was buffering, and at a couple other instances, but the sound would resume with the video normally afterwards.
.
I do have some key issues as in, my normal CB volume keys do not function as such, and other keys not quite working normally.
Not a big issue right now... just have to go searching for the issue and open up terminal to fix... I suppose...
Still... I'm happy this little computer is doing pretty well, and it's safe again.
