--000000000000f5364705e5a2e7f8 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Hello. A lot of years ago,I bought the cool notebook "Samsung Chromebook "SNOW" model XE303C12" where it seems that only ChromeOS and Linux can be installed. The specs are the following ones : - CPU: Samsung Exynos 5 Dual (5250) <http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/product/application/detail?productId=7668>; (Cortex A15; 1.7GHz dual core cpu) - GPU: ARM Mali-T604 <http://www.arm.com/products/multimedia/mali-graphics-hardware/mali-t604.php>; (Quad Core) - 1366x768 screen & HDMI external connector - RAM: 2 GiB DDR3 - The memory is not upgradable as it is soldered directly to the board - Disk: 16 GiB SSD (connected to eMMC) - SD & USB expansion slots - WiFi: 802.11 a/b/g/n - USB slot can handle Ethernet dongle I'm trying to look on Internet to understand if I can install FreeBSD without having all the troubles explained here : https://wiki.freebsd.org/arm/Chromebook Which options do I have to have a fully working FreeBSD system on that machine ? If it can't be installed natively,maybe these two options are feasible ? : 1) to virtualize FreeBSD using qemu and kvm 2) to install FreeBSD using the crouton chroot method ? What else ? What do you think ? Maybe you know some specific tutorial that's more updated and that can allow me to install freeBSD on that machine making almost everything work as expected. -- Mario. --000000000000f5364705e5a2e7f8 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr">Hello.<br> <br><div>A lot of years ago,I bought the cool notebook "Samsung=20 Chromebook "SNOW" model XE303C12" where it seems that only C= hromeOS and=20 Linux can be installed.
