I recently purchased an Acer c720 chrome book due to its low cost, long battery life and portaiility. I know its not a powerhouse but I don't intend to be playing games or anything incredibly graphically intensive, primarily just for finishing up work that would otherwise keep me at the office longer than I have any desire to be. My intention was to install linux and reading up on it it appeared that Ubuntu worked the best. I was able to put it into recovery, developer and seaBIOS, when I attempted to do an ubuntu install, it appeard to work correctly until it restarted to finalize the install. Upon restart it brings me to a Chrome screen stating the bios are not found and to insert a recovery flash drive. I was not able to use any of the key combinations specifically the "ctrl-L" to allow the legacy boot.
Ok so to my question:
Does anyone know if on the c720, there is a way to either auto boot from thumb drive when one is inserted or to successfully install an alternate OS. Specifically to run for example, ubuntu exclusively, I dont plan on using chrome at all.
Any thoughts will be much appreciated.
