Where can I find a Google Chrome OS ISO image?

Where can I get a Google Chrome OS .ISO file? I know I could install ubuntu and build from source but I don't want to do that. Are there any ISO's available?

I have started a bounty to this question because I really need an iso to use on my old computer that can't boot from USB. – Kredns – 2010-07-12T06:21:38.933

4I know you want Google Chrome, but in reference to your previous comment, you might try Ubuntu or Damn Small Linux (just to get your machine up and running). – jrc03c – 2010-07-12T20:36:43.653

Hexxeh’s Chromium builds are supposedly pretty popular (and I’ve liked the ones I’ve tried). They host torrent to ISOs, as well as IMG files and VirtualBox-ready archives.

Here is a link to a virtualbox image of Chrome OS. I don't believe there is an installer for real hardware yet.

There's perhaps not a real "installer", but Chromium can certainly be run on real hardware (via USB or LiveCD). – jrc03c – 2010-07-13T16:21:07.827

You can run Chrome from a USB flash drive. It's not technically an ISO, but it's pretty close.

1this is more appropriate to post as a comment, since it doesn't really answer the question. once you get to 50 rep you'll see the gray "add comment" links below other posts. – quack quixote – 2010-03-30T05:50:00.920

5I think it's pretty close to an answer. Moreover, answering questions is the best way to build up rep anyway. – stillinbeta – 2010-03-30T14:28:17.127
