Step By Step Guide to Installing Ubuntu on an Acer C7 Chromebook

1. Hold down esc+refresh+power.

2. When you see the yellow exclamation mark, hold down ctrl+d then press enter.

3. When you see the "To turn OS verification OFF, press ENTER" prompt, press enter;

4. Take a 4 minute break while Developer Mode is activated!

5. When you see the "OS Verification is off" prompt and red exclamation mark press ctrl+d;

Congratulations, you are now in developer mode!
