Chrome Question: SOLVED
Posted: Wed 27 Feb 2013, 17:51
A few months ago I downloaded and installed Google Chrome browser via a frugal install. For the life of me I don't recall how I did it...I don't recall it being difficult. I thought I downloaded it from PPM...or maybe directly from Google. It is Chrome 21.
Oops! forgot to add: this is on Precise Puppy 5.4.
Yesterday I was trying to install Chrome on a live DVD (I also would like to install it on my son's VERY old Dell), but couldn't recall how I installed it before. I didn't find it in the PPM (but maybe it needs updating).
I found a .PET of Chrome 24 (from Sheepy). I downloaded then installed it. Strangely, it didn't create any menu entries. I was in a bit of a hurry (son was sick at preschool), so I just shut it down without saving, and figured I would start fresh this weekend.
I searched quite a bit and found some info which may be helpful, but to be truthful I don't want to spin my wheels for hours trying to find what appears to be a rare problem (and very likely user newbie-error ).
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Heck, maybe I should just install Chromium and add Flash player...but, I find that Chrome is very stable and works very well for my son playing online Lego games.
Many thanks,
Bob
