 AA> I think you are looking for this:

 AA> https://www.neverware.com/freedownload

That website didn't show up in a DuckDuckGo Search I did using the words:

Chrome OS Live CD

but I got over 50 URL's to look through, one of them is about making
your netbook a Chromebook.

There were many sites with Live CD for Chrome OS.

I will take me a while to go through that list.
I will probably first read the pages with help about using Chrome OS on
this XP box.

 AA> I don't think it's "Live".  But an install in a VM might do the trick.

Using Chrome OS in a VM also came to me last night before I went to sleep.
Yes!, I think about computer stuff a lot, even if it is something I can't
understand.

I have used Innotek VirtualBox a little bit, like instead of Running UBUNTU
7.02 as a Live CD I Installed it in a Innotek VM, and also some other stuff
that I wanted to play with but not install.

Thanks for the Help!
