====== Adding Packages ======
Chromium OS is built on top of Ubuntu Karmic Koala, which means you can easily install packages that are present in Ubuntu.
//None of these packages have been tested on Chromium OS, so please make sure you tread carefully before installing a package. There will be no help should you break your Chromium OS Installation!//
You can either configure Chromium manually or you can use a shell script.
===== Shell Script =====
This script will configure Chromium automatically.
==== Instructions ====
-Click the link in the header of the script below to download it
-Save the script in the home directory with the default name of pconf
-Open a terminal by pressing: Ctrl + Alt + T
-Set the script as executable by typing: chmod +x pconf
-Run the script by typing: ./pconf
-Enter the root password (default is //facepunch//).
==== Script ====
#!/bin/sh
echo Please enter the root password:
sudo -K
sudo mount -o remount,rw /
sudo mkdir -p /var/cache/apt/archives/partial
sudo mkdir -p /var/log/apt
sudo mkdir -p /var/cache/debconf
sudo touch /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
sudo chmod a+w /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
sudo touch /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo chmod a+w /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo echo deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic main restricted > /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
===== Manual Instructions =====
==== Preliminary Work ====
Apt is already installed, but some folders are missing. Create them first.
* Open a terminal
Ctrl + Alt + T
* Make the filesystem writable
sudo mount -o rw,remount /
* create the needed folders
sudo mkdir -p /var/cache/apt/archives/partial
sudo mkdir -p /var/log/apt
sudo mkdir -p /var/cache/debconf
==== The config.dat file ====
Next you'll need to add the config.dat file.
* Create the file
sudo touch /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
* Make it writable (optional?)
sudo chmod a+w /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
==== The sources.list file ====
Finally you'll need to add the sources.list file.
* Create the file
sudo touch /etc/apt/sources.list
* Make it writable
sudo chmod a+w /etc/apt/sources.list
* Put the repository in the file
echo deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic main restricted > /etc/apt/sources.list
* Update apt
sudo apt-get update
