cool. well, Matthew Dillon / DragonflyBSD project just bought me a C720, so I'll be able to shephard in the patches into -HEAD soon. For the C710, I'd like to figure out how to build a chromeos recovery and boot image that uses the normal way of doing it - however, and here's the kicker - we don't have EFI32 booting support yet. So, until we get that working, we'll be stuck. :( -adrian On 27 December 2014 at 11:11, Matthias Apitz <guru@unixarea.de> wrote: > El d=C3=ADa Saturday, December 27, 2014 a las 11:52:16AM -0700, Warren Bl= ock escribi=C3=B3: > >> The C710's advantage is that RAM can be added and it takes a normal 2.5 >> SATA device (7mm, but still). >> >> The C720 has a faster processor, but RAM (2G) is soldered in, there are >> no sockets, and the SSD is the newer M.2 form factor.
