Thanks for your great script. And I have a few question.

Q1:In line 168, it seem that the script should check USB flash drive for local image. If I had already downloaded the img file from cdimage.ubuntu.com, what directory should I place in the USB flash drive? In root directory should be OK? and what file name should I rename this image file?

Q2:In the post of 'smithwd', there was a faild package, how can we fix it?

Q3:Should this script be available for Samsung Chromebook 2 (both 11.6" and 13.3")? It seems that they have a different processor with Samsung CB 1(4-cores A-15 plus 4-cores A-7, 2-cores A15).

Thank you very for answering.
