How to Install Google Chrome in Fedora via yum
 
To install Google Chrome via yum you need to jump through few hoops, but once you find the url it is quite easy to do so.

For 32bit version :

yum localinstall --nogpgcheck -y https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/g...rrent_i386.rpm

For 64bit version :

yum localinstall --nogpgcheck -y https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/g...ent_x86_64.rpm

why use a "localinstall"????
why not install the google repo
-- 32 bit -------
Code:

[google-chrome]
name=google-chrome - 32-bit
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/i386
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

then just
" yum search chrome "
" yum install google-chrome-stable "

that way it will be auto updated


or the fedora built one
in the repos
Code:

yum install chromium

edit
Quote:

--nogpgcheck -y
using the "nogpgcheck" and "YES TO ALL " options are a VERY VERY VERY bad habit to get into
it is something you really do not want to do all the time .
