   When You say "filesystem, then move data to the chromebook" is that done   
   on the Chromebook or to another pc and using Wi-Fi to get it on the   
   Chromebook.   
      
   I've only played with Chromebooks at the Stores a couple of times, and don't   
   know the In's and Out's of how to feed a Chromebook, that's why I asked here   
   about using a CD on one of them.
