Sorry those web pages contain information that is far too complicated; not a computer science person! The information about using 'vt-2' shell was not understood. The user 'chronos' required a password, the shell includes some statement about set password via root, but could not enter as root because root password not known either.

Really liked crouton. Enjoyed simple process of switch on computer, shell, sudo startxfce4. The computer was used for very simple use as a school teacher

Will now try to use the crostini way. Initial thoughts are a disappointment. See the blog: 'chemistryinthecity.neocities.org'

@githubcitc,

Yeah, Crostini is the way to go now, it doesn't require Developer mode and it is simpler to install and maintain going forward.
