    AA> https://www.neverware.com/freedownload   
      
   That website didn't show up in a DuckDuckGo Search I did using the words:   
      
   Chrome OS Live CD   
      
   but I got over 50 URL's to look through, one of them is about making   
   your netbook a Chromebook.   
      
   There were many sites with Live CD for Chrome OS.   
      
   I will take me a while to go through that list.   
   I will probably first read the pages with help about using Chrome OS on   
   this XP box.   
      
    AA> I don't think it's "Live".  But an install in a VM might do the trick.   
      
   Using Chrome OS in a VM also came to me last night before I went to sleep.   
   Yes!, I think about computer stuff a lot, even if it is something I can't   
   understand.   
      
   I have used Innotek VirtualBox a little bit, like instead of Running UBUNTU   
   7.02 as a Live CD I Installed it in a Innotek VM, and also some other stuff   
   that I wanted to play with but not install.   
      
    AA> Overview   
    AA> What you need:

    AA>     To create the USB installer: a PC, Mac or Chromebook running the

    AA>     An 8GB (or greater) USB stick   
      
      
    AA> BUT... it is wise to confirm compatibility with their "Certified

   Thanks for the Help!
