I have the same problem as some commenters on this link point out: http://discuss.gdgt.com/google/chrome-os/general/Download-Ch...

Doesn't work for me on VirtualBox on OSX. I cannot login to the OS, saying there's no internet access/no offline login available.

Don't you know what VMWare is?

older computers, new at this, and would rather learn all this stuff the hard way. I do know what vmware is, I don't want to screw up what I have
