There are two ways to use PrawnOS.

The first option is to boot from the external USB or SD device you wrote the image to, and expand the image to take up the entire boot device.

* Expanding the PrawnOS image allows you to boot PrawnOS from the same USB or SD device that you wrote the image to
* Expansion does _NOT_ support root encryption. For root encryption the filesystem must be written after the encrypted root is created.

The second and recommended option is to install it on a device other than the one you wrote the PrawnOS image to

* This lets you install PrawnOS to the internal emmc, an SD card or a USB device
* This allows you to setup root encryption
* Installing to an external device allows you to try PrawnOS without removing Chrome OS or whatever Linux you are running on your internal storage (emmc), but USB drives especially are a much slower experience as the c201 only has USB 2.0.
* The internal emmc is much faster than a usb device or sd card for both reads and writes, data from some tests is available in #133
* If you want to boot from external media, I would suggest using an SD card.

### Install to internal drive (emmc) or to SD card or USB drive
Now on the C201, insert the drive you wrote the PrawnOS image to. Press `control+u` at boot to boot from the external drive.
