----
-
-[TOC]
-
-This FAQ is for developers; check out the [General Chromium OS
-FAQ](/chromium-os/chromium-os-faq) for non-development related questions. If
-that doesn't work out, try the [discussion groups](/system/errors/NodeNotFound).
-
----
-
-## Should I call my build Chromium OS or Google Chrome OS?
-
-You should call it Chromium OS.
-
-### Will the autoupdate feature work on both Google Chrome OS and Chromium OS?
-
-We don't plan to support autoupdate on Chromium OS, as we did not build the
-binaries, and we don't know what modifications you've made to the system, so we
-don't want to blow away any changes you may have made to the code. Therefore
-Google will not autoupdate Chromium OS systems, but you're welcome to set up
-your own autoupdate server.
-
-Google Chrome OS will autoupdate to keep consumer machines running the latest
-and greatest at all times.
-
-### Will the verified boot feature work on both Google Chrome OS and Chromium OS?
-
-The verified boot procedure relies on custom firmware and hardware modifications
-and hence will work only for Google Chrome OS.
-
-### ---
-
-### ## What are the minimum hardware requirements?
-
-The open-source nature of Chromium OS allows it to be ported to an expanding
-range of hardware; however, some base requirements are likely to remain fixed.
-
-Hardware-accelerated OpenGL or OpenGL ES support is mandatory, and the Chromium
-browser's memory footprint is an obvious lower bound for RAM.
-
-See the [Developer Hardware
-list](/chromium-os/getting-dev-hardware/dev-hardware-list) for examples of
-netbooks on which developers are successfully running Chromium OS.
-
-### What about other hardware: Does Chromium OS support my wifi card?
-
-In order to ensure the best user experience with Google Chrome OS, we're going
-through a careful hardware selection and testing process for hardware
-components.
-
-For Chromium OS, the open source community and Google are working to add support
-for a very broad range of hardware. If the device you're interested in has an
-open source driver already in the upstream Linux kernel, please send a request
-to
-[chromium-os-dev](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/group/chromium-os-dev/topics)
--- if you can include a proposed patch, even better.
-
-Please see our [supported developer hardware
-wiki](/chromium-os/getting-dev-hardware/dev-hardware-list) for more details.
-
-### Is it true that you don't support hard disk drives (HDDs)?
-
-Firstly, we should point out that the information in the open source release has
-been misinterpreted as saying that we don't support local storage. Most Google
-Chrome OS devices use SSDs although we have a few that also use HDDs. The
-reasons to prefer SSD is performance and reliability.
-
-Chromium OS will indeed work with conventional HDDs, though the disk accesses
-are optimized for flash-based storage, like reduced read-ahead.

-## Chromium OS issues
-
-### I can't log in
-
-Login may fail under various circumstances. For example, if you do not have
-network connectivity and you have never logged in before, then you will not be
-able to log in.
-
-The login screen should display a message beneath the username/password input
-field. For example, if you have network connectivity and provide the wrong
-credentials, you will be told that either your username or password is
-incorrect.
-
-To troubleshoot networking at this point, you have to jump to a virtual terminal
-(only enabled on dev machines) by using Ctrl+Alt+F2 (you might need to use the
-[shared user password](/system/errors/NodeNotFound) that to login if you set
-it).
-
-If you are able to log in to the virtual terminal, reconfigure the networking
-service (`sudo restart shill`). **Note:** If you are having trouble with
-wireless, just plug in an Ethernet cable. It is much easier to troubleshoot a
-networking issue once you have logged in.
-
-### How is timezone managed?
-
-On Chromium OS, local timezone is managed by the Chromium browser. The default
-timezone is Pacific Time (PST). To change it, please refer to
-<https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/177871?hl=en>.
-
-In the case of a Chrome-less build, the timezone is left unset and defaulted to
-UTC. To set to a different timezone, the symlink /var/lib/timezone/localtime
-should be linked to a specific zone file, such as /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC.

-## Miscellaneous
-
-### What are the shortcut keys?
-
-To get a visual overlay, hit Ctrl-Alt-/ and then hold modifier keys like Ctrl,
-Alt, and Shift to see the associated hotkeys.
-
-Most browser shortcuts also apply:
-<http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95743>
-
-### Are native applications supported?
-
-Google Chrome OS is a web-centric system, so all applications are web
-applications; this provides powerful and simple manageability and security. To
-write applications that will benefit from native code execution we recommend
-using NativeClient, an open source project that allows web apps to run native
-code securely within a browser. See
-<http://code.google.com/chrome/nativeclient/> for more details.
-
-Of course Chromium OS is open source, and it's Linux. This means that as a
-developer you can do pretty much anything you want, including installing any
-Linux application. \ No newline at end of file
