CloudReady support #93

Closed DanielHerr closed 4 years ago

Attempting to run chrx in CloudReady on a non-Chrome device results in failure after being unable to find legacy boot mode.

This seems reasonable to me..! What function would chrx perform in CloudReady on a non-ChromeOS device? :)

DanielHerr commented 4 years ago

I had wrongly assumed that CloudReady, like Chrome OS would refuse to boot or malfunction as a result of shrinking the state partition and adding a new partition in its space. However, despite apparently discontinuing official support for dual booting, CloudReady seems to work fine after manually repartitioning. Given the ease of shrinking the single largest partition and adding a new one using GUI tools such as GParted or Ubuntu's installer, I don't think it is necessary to add CloudReady support to chrx.
