Mounting your SD Card under Chrome OS

Now the Linux subsystem will be able to see the SD Card with all your CPAP data (although we haven't told Oscar where it is yet).
When you are done with Oscar, you will need to use the files App again to safely eject the SD Card.
=== And now, back to getting OSCAR launched, and the Language Selection window ===Maybe you launched OSCAR at the end of the installation step, in which case you'll have a dialog box asking you to pick a language (or to accept the default).If you didn't already launch it, then go to the Launch button of Chrome OS (the one with white concentric circles) and click on that. Then find the icon for the OSCAR app. It may be in a folder called Linux Apps. When you find it, click on it. OSCAR will start, and you'll get the Language selection box. So now go get to the window we got from Oscar, and we can accept the language choice (or an alternative).  === Where to store Data, and importing old Sleepyhead Data === It will then ask where to store it's data, and offer a default choice, which would be safe to accept on a new system. then Then it will want to know if you want to import any Sleepyhead data, and I think the answer should be no at least for the moment. It's thinking there may be Sleepyhead data on the machine already, and in your case there won't be. If you wanted to import Sleepyhead data from your old machine, it could probably be done, but I haven't tried it yet, and we would have to work out how you would transfer from your old system, and how Linux would see the filesbut it hasn't yet been documented. === Making a profile ===
So after you've declined the Sleepyhead Import, you will be at the Welcome screen, and you will have to create a new profile. I'll assume you know how to do that already. It's a new machine, you can use any name you like, and the name is all that is required in the four boxes of setting up a new profile.
=== Importing SD Card Data ===After that, you'll want to import from your SD Card, which we already have on the Chromebook. You may be used to using the F12 key on the keyboard, but as you can see the Chromebook doesn't have those function keys. The rightmost key above the numbers might work, but I donthat hasn't think I've tried that been verified yet, so let's just use either the "File" menu of the "CPAP Importer" data button on the welcome page.
When you click on that, you will see a box with a progress bar in it and 2 buttons marked "choose a folder and Cancel. The progress bar runs for 20 seconds and it doesn't matter File Dialog Box which button you presscomes from OSCAR, I believe the installation you have will always wait for 20 seconds before and it gives you a bigger box in which you can tell it how is referring to the file naming conventions of Linux subsystem knows the SD card.So o suggest This may seem strange, but this guide will get you just wait out the 20 seconds until the File Dialog Box appears. We know about this bug through it, and it may get fixed by the next release. mjphyi is going you'll only have to fix do it in the chrome OS packagesonce.
When you get that box, unlike windows, there are no C: or D: or any drives with a colon in them.
The SD Card is known to Linux as /mnt/chromeos/removable/USB Drive
and how we get that into navigate through the dialog box is to go to the left panel (titled "Places") and click on "File System"Then go to the panel slightly to the right titled "Name" and double click on "mnt".Then in the same panel titled "Name" we double click on "chromeos".
Then in the same panel titled "Name" we double click on "removable"
