Hello! This might be off topic, but, ah, bear with me. I found out about the utility that the subject references, in the first place it was for something called Chrome OS Flex, and that Google bought a company who's plans were for turning older laptops, either running an older Windows release, or even the Mac family members into Chromebooks. Secondly it was repeated in a totally different site.
And now for the third time around, it seems since this tool is for creating recovery images of existing systems, I noticed that Google has itself there, in this case Chromebook CR-48 for example. Isn't that one an internal reference system not designed for retail purposes? Oh and there are two others there as well. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

I'm not familiar with the tool that you mentioned, but Cr-48 was the very first Chromebook. You're correct that it wasn't available for retail, however it was distributed publicly for evaluation purposes in anticipation of the next round of Chromebooks a few months later. I guess one could call it brutalist in its design - no frills and designed to put the "browser as the OS" concept front-and-center without distractions.
