What to do with a broken chromebook (laptop)?

Success with method #1 +bookmark in Rox.

Question: I edited the script to point to the 8 gig partition on the internal drive.

If i wanted to do the same for the SD card should I

a) just copy the script, rename it, edit it for the SD card and put it in the /root/startup folder?

b) edit the script in some magical way?

I hadn't tried the script until today because i wanted to read it and try to understand it a bit - but once again your directions were spot-on and it was a K.I.S.S. project/step to implement (Keep it Super Simple)!!!

I took an ebook from the library on bash scripting for the days I commute to work on the subway.
I've never tried python (only dyslexia-stress inducing pascal/modula2 and C++). maybe scripting is more my (potential) speed

You can find more at w3schools (web) and great advice/help here on the forum too.

Bash scripting will be most useful in Linux, Py is cross platform and more powerful.

bookmarked! Thanks.

I'll add the new script later, I had to put clear the desk to set up my "other" laptop back up and see if i remembered how i got linux to boot on it to make a "toss your idea in the hat" suggestion on another thread.

Helpful hint if you start writing code. Use Geany editor and when you want to test and run your code:

-click: Build>Execute (or the Execute icon in the bar)

A terminal will open and the code will run.
