[CoLoCo] Java on Chrome OS

[David Overcash]

I can't remember if Java was in this install - but I do remember that there
wasn't a web page that didn't seem to work correctly...

http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/lime.php

It's similar to an AOSP Android build - they took the source for ChromeOS
and built in more hardware support and ( afaik ) some other minor features.
 Give it a while via USB disk?

Hope that helps!
