Thank you.  I will try there.  I don't think the problem is ARM-specific,
though I mentioned it several times.  I think I am just overlooking
something. I was hoping someone here had done it, on ARM or x86. 

Sincerely,
 Mark

Hi, all.  I possess an ARM Chromebook, and was not smart enough to get
Debian onto it using instructions from the Web, but I found I could follow
the Ubuntu-based instructions, and I successfully installed Ubuntu 12.04 for
ARM on a 64GB SDXC card.

Is there a decent way to leverage Ubuntu over to Debian?  Alternatively, has
anyone successfully run Debian on an ARM Chromebook, and is willing to help
me?

I have a Samsung XE303C12.

Getting root is trivial. Get it into developer mode, and Babette is your
auntie.  However, I am not good enough with non-PC hardware.  You can
replace the ChromeOS, set it up for dual-boot, or boot from USB (SD
card);the last is also trivial.

Any advice?


You'd probably get more help on the Debian ARM specific user list:

debian-...@lists.debian.org
