hello william, thank you again for responding.
i apologize if i was not very clear in my last message. my beaglebone black rev. c is working, just fine, *now*. it was not working earlier in the day, because, for some unknown reason, i was not able to ssh into it via the USB cable, as i was able to so easily two days ago. after much back and forth this afternoon on the Freenode IRC #beagle channel (same as the live chat on this web site), i was able to get it working again by using the Adafruit (or similar) serial debug cable with the Beagle Term app for Chromebook i mentioned (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/beagle-term/gkdofhllgfohlddimiiildbgoggdpoea). that's how i knew i had the serial debug cable and a decent app on the Chromebook by which to see the beaglebone black rev. c board via that serial debug cable. so to re-cap: the board is working just fine now, i just still can't bridge internet from my Acer C720P Chromebook USB port over to the beaglebone black rev. c. i can use the long ethernet cable to my router, but, as i said, that will create a problem eventually for my roommates. i do intend to get a micro sd card in the next couple of days, for backing up a flash of the eMMC, as you say, in case of catastrophic failure while creating something or other. so given all that, is there a way to help me, please, bridge the internet connection from my Chromebook via USB over to the beaglebone black rev. c? i apologize for my rank nØØb questions, but i'm more of a web development coding in html5 & javascript guy, not so much a linux IT guy, so i don't know ifconfig, route -n or lsmod very well. i also think this is not a matter of beaglebone black no working straight out of the box; i believe, it is a matter that ChromeOS linux is not the standard linux beaglebone black is expecting to bridge internet from and there is probably some set-up involved that i am missing. is there an on-line instruction guide for beaglebone, a how-to or simple step-by-step primer, for understanding how to bridge internet connection from a linux laptop to beaglebone black rev. c that you or anyone else here on the forums could please point me to? i would greatly appreciate it. thank you for your help thus far and in advance for your help with my further query above. best, — faddah portland, oregon, u.s.a.
