   Correct.  Only auto-updates stops happening.

   Like some linux .iso/s that don't boot live, just boot into an installer.

   Right, 8G.  And 16G for the install drive.

   Right, kinda like some Apple.   
      
   After 'examining' the CR biz, I decided that my 'spectrum' of such   
   web-centricity experience could be my existing Chromebook OS or various   
   linux distros which rig themselves to be web-centric to some degree.   
      
   Or I can tinker w/ an android smartphone over wifi.   
      
   I couldn't figure anything interesting enough about the CR that made me   
   go to the 'trouble' for it.
