nwm on ChromeOS

I'll clean up these instructions once I have a chance to do another clean install. Feel free to file a PR to improve these docs meanwhile.

Crouton's capabilities for running external targets are limited, which is why you need a second, unpacked copy of crouton to install nwm at this time.

The basic steps are:

  1. download and unzip Crouton into a folder by clicking the link on https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton and unzipping the file in ChromeOS.
  2. add the following files: https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/compare/master...mixu:master (view -> raw -> Save as)
  3. run sudo sh installer/main.sh -r precise -t nwm -n nwm
  4. run sudo startnwm (or sh host-bin/startnwm)

To update crouton and the chroot after a ChromeOS update, run sudo sh installer/main.sh -f /path/to/bootstrap.tar.bz2 -r precise -t nwm -n nwm -u.

The -f flag above assumes that you have a bootstrap tarball, free free to omit it if you are downloading the bootstrap on each run.
