I've been unable to lay hands on a USB drive big enough to hold that entire image, so I can't easily test with it. >From what I'm finding on the web, your Google CR48 is probably an Intel GMA 3150, which looks like it's covered by the normal open source Intel driver even though it's not explicitly listed on the manpage. http://intellinuxgraphics.org/documentation.html I think my GMA 500 is a different situation. I'm pessimistic.
