\u003cbr/\u003e\n   \nTo install Arch Linux ARM on a SDcard / USB drive:\n\n   ___* Make sure that developer mode is enabled.\n   (enabling developer mode will wipe everything on the chromebook's internal flash memory. back up anything you want to keep.)___\n\n     Hold down the ESC and Refresh keys and poke the Power button.\n     At the Recovery screen press Ctrl-D \n     (there's no prompt - you have to know to do it).\n     \n     Confirm switching to developer mode by pressing enter, \n     and the laptop will reboot and reset the system. \n     \n     This takes about 15-20 minutes.\n     \n     Note: After enabling developer mode, \n     you will need to press Ctrl-D each time you boot, \n     or wait 30 seconds to continue booting.\n    \u003cbr/\u003e\n\n   _the
